I'm not normally a fan of MR2 because of its unusually (ugly ) styling but this car looks sharp. The deep dish really adds to the appeal. What kind of kit is that?

Looks nice but I agree with the others, a nice drop with some better fitting wheels would make it look even nicer!

its a veilside wide body kit. we had a drop on it but he was afraid he would tear up the front lip so we put the stock springs back in it. what do you guys mean when you say better offsets? these are some agressive offsets and when we do the 25mm spacer on the rear it will push the wheel out flush with the finder, do you think it should have been more conservative?

I agree. The stance and wheel offsets are terrible. It takes the perfect stance and offset to pull off a wide body kit.

Fix the suspension height and get lower offsets and you'll be set.

yo these wheels are a +20 offset front and rear. this is the lowest offset these wheels come in. i totaly agree with you guys on the hight he should have left it low. but its his and hes a payin costomer so whatever he wants right!!!! i think it look good though he's happy and thats all that counts.

It looks like it could use some bigger more aggressive wheels.
