Looks great but it's a little too low for my tastes.

LOL. Pet Detective. I remember that part!... but too bad it happened for real.

Car looks much better lowered, even on the stock wheels!

So here is a picture of the custom made springs that are getting installed today

Hopefully a better shot


Ok here is my car bad pic I know, I kept the guys late at the wheel shop and my kids were crying blah blah blah. I will in fact though post some way better pics tomorrow at work, this is just a quick teaser. Dang this thing looks aggressive in person! I got sooooo many looks just on the way home (2 miles)


Big thanks to Concavo for making all this happen! It is a lot harder to test fit wheels on the basis of custom made springs especially when I am in San Diego and they are in Florida. They did a great job and I am very happy. I had an opportunity to take some pics this morning with a better camera. Let me know what you guys think.






OMG! they are simply gorgeous!!

These would look amazing on my black GS. So how's the ride compared to stock? How low is the drop? How's the scrapings in and out of driveways? I'm a fan of deep dish wheels with lips but these have changed my mind. Thanks for the pics!

They would! I love alloy finish on a black car. I have the "low down springs that were custom made, and the ride is ok. I will be getting the Tanabes the day they come out. I think when you lower a car this much with just springs and not coilovers it maxes out your struts, which takes away from the ride quality. I am probablly lowered 2 inches, so the Tanabe will be 1.1 and 1.2 inches which should be perfect.

Deep dish is out and full face is in!!!!

Yes, just a little. So the guy who made the custom springs made two different drops "Low Down" and more conservative drop. I wanted the conservative drop but unbeknownst to me he sent me the low down drop and I installed it. So with stock rims and tires there was no rubbing, and with these wheels I would have had to go with 285-25-20 and 245-30-20 to achieve no rubbing.
