    Ok, 20" is to big, I agree on that...
    My standard wheels are 18" and I found them to little, thats why I've bought some 19".

    just added a couple things and put up a couple pics of my modified tsudo catback. i put in a resonator, because it was way too loud and, added extra pins and hangers, cut it to tuck it up a bit all the way down, welded it all together, and gave more slant to the muffler. i don't know if you'll be able to see all that in the photos and i'm a little too lazy to make an exhaust clip, but for those of you thinking about getting this system, you might want to leave a little money on the side to add a resonator... about $100.

    i've had three different suspension setups... first i lowered my car with t1r springs; they still had the oem feel when driving, which was nice, but i wanted a lower look. the second setup was with eibach sportlines; these had a nice low look with the oem feel, but the stock struts would knock in the front on a big dip... the sound drove me crazy and this setup also made it difficult to get around in the winter. i went with the coilovers because i wanted to be able to adjust the ride height for the winter. i like the coilovers and they definitely give me the lower look i want but it is a much stiffer ride. the car corners great; i took a traffic circle at 120km/h without any body roll, but the first time i hit a bad bump with the damper on a track setting i thought my ears might start to bleed by having my body jarred so bad. oh... and one definite negative is that the damper in the rear can only be adjusted by dropping the coilovers out from the factory strut mount. there is no access to the damper adjustment from inside the trunk, so if you decide to go with these coilovers, be sure to have them on the right setting prior to installation if you are not mechanically inclined at all. if you are then this should not be an issue.

    Are the rims a greenish color?
     
  14. dizzle

    dizzle Well-Known Member

    no... the rims are actually black... the greenish tinge is just there because i didn't take enough time with photoshop to correct it.

    Eh, I don't really like them too much. They look a little too big. And the overall style of them is meh.

    yeah, i made the wheels that big to seee what the 19s would look like... personally i like the look of the size with the photoshopped wheels because they are aggressive looking wheels. because of that i think i could get away with 19s without losing the angry look i'm going for with my car. i think this image is closer to what they would look like

    thanks for the comments guys
