Yeah just trying to go a different route. I hope the wheels look good too lol I'll be running air next summer if all goes as planned so that'll help pull it together.

Similar look... this was what got me thinking to go this route

H&R springs are on and test fitted the front wheel to see if they clear the calipers. All good there! Also put the shim kit in... feels much better rolling to a stop now. Decided not to install the tokico shocks yet since my oem were replaced by the original owner 10k ago. Just gonna see if they go before I can switch to air or I got the tokicos ready.

overall ... very pleased with the springs. Perfect for daily driving my 80 miles per day commute.

Shot out to Getafewliv for the install tip with the shim kit... once I got them matched it made sense but at first I did scratch my head lol.

Wheels getting dropped off tomorrow with Chris @dipsht www.dipsht.com thanx to Andrew (Boyohboy) referring him. Going to strip the lips of the clear coat and polish. Leaving the faces machined for now.

Also sending one of the center caps off to be custom made from Brian @ 4thup.com. These wheels just aren't produced anymore so I can't just buy new center caps.

Decided to go with Muteki SR48 titanium open lugs. Should arrive Friday.

No I have all four still it just wasn't on in the last pic. Two of them have clear peeling so that's why I'm going to have a new set made. Might try to do something with them in the meantime.

Prep work



Stripped lips polishing starts tomorrow



Arrived 2 days after payment. Bought them from vendor Charles at B2Designs



Glad I went with these
