Default finally!! pics of my xA on wheels and springs

All this time (I got the springs back in, damn, maybe October??) and hadn't really taken a good profile shot of it since then... well last weekend I got my 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels (thanks Van Phan!!!) installed along with some 205/45/16 inch wheel Nitto NeoGens... I love the ride and the looks, but now I worry I may need to drop it a bit more than the Eibach Pro Kit allows.. take a look and let me know what you think:

It looks pretty good, but it could stand to be dropped just a bit more.

cutting springs... man you are nuts, their progressive man! It would ride like a slammed mini truck if I cut a coil... nah, I'll just move over to different springs...

Get a different set of springs. That's the best thing to do. I don't like cutting springs. It messes with the geometry.

i think 17's would of filled the gap a little better, but they do look nice. it just matters if you want a rougher ride, buy spy springs might do the trick.
