Default I have one too

It seems we have much in common sir - I too love the ggp, although mine is an 02' base. Check out some of the pics I took today while throwing on my new bbs lm's. I picked this manual car up for 11,500 cash with sixty thousand miles a few weeks ago - a huge deal where I'm from. I picked these rims and tires up from a guy who had them on his s2000. He payed 5000 for the rims and tires - he sold them to me last night for 1700!! I worked him for over a month. nice. What do you think?

also - I've been told that either the eibach pro kit (something like one inch drop all around) or the hotchkis springs (one inch f, one and a half in r) are good, safe drops. Any more than that I dont know. I suppose it would depends on your wheels, tires, offset, drop goals, etc.

Both GGP's are very nice. For lowering I was looking at eibach or tein. I ended up getting road magnet springs the same as used by team lexus, the drop should be about a inch, but I do not have them installed yet, because I have been so busy.

Shoot, I didn't even notice those - those rims are tight which begs the question: Are you going to be changing the cars shoes or keeping the chrome stock? I didn't even know they made those rims chrome.....then again, I didn't know my car had a ****ing cloth interior until I test drove it for the first time.
