Nice purchase. I understand these can come with custom spring rates, what did you decide to go with? You should post pics after installation.

What are your tire specs?
Our cars do look great when lowered on nice wheels. Baller!
I would lose the the emblem near the back window and the chrome pillars tho.

nice pick up. so yours is just the standard set up then. i ordered a custom set of BCs from Circuit Motors also. Tristan says that itll take 2 to 3 weeks for the custom set up i asked for. camber those wheels in and lower it more. hehehehe...
