Default Pics with my Vossens of coarse and now with the Tanabe DF's!

Just phone pics but I got the springs put on last week. My satisfaction is still up in the air, I think it sits pretty even and definately love the look, the ride is still pretty nice, not a huge difference, the low speed shimmy/vibration isn't too bad. But I kind of think it may be too low in the rear, the fronts don't rub whatsoever, the rears rub pretty bad when I loaded up the car with big bags of ice, and can't even have anyone in the rear seats with the passenger rear rubbing bad. I will probably roll the rear quarters a little. I just really didn't want to have to mod the car in that way we will see. I haven't had too much time with the car, just a short road trip....love the look regardless. I think Coilovers may be in the future but if I want it low the quarter mod will be needed regardless.

Your Vossens with the drop came out great. Seems like your DF in pic has not settled fully yet. Your car looks very Classy. Job well done.

i dont think the DF's have settled either. I have them on my car with staggered 20s and the tire tucks! Regardless....car looks great!

What are the tire spec/brand? rim offsets?

I think I'm still going to go with your style Vossen though. Unless a set of LM's drop into my lap.

Thanks for the compliments everyone...The first few pics are the first day so they no doubt were not settled yet, the photo with just the rear(facing the wheel) is with some Luggage and 4 huge bags of ice lol.....are you guys saying they haven't settle per the photos??? or that it won't most likely rub once they wear in???? 20 x 10 rear, 20 x 9 front rear has the +45 offset, I am not sure about the front. tires are Nitto NT555 275/30/20 for the rear and 245/35/20 for the front. Ha yeah a lot of people on here have them, I think(lkapimp) your car(early on in your modding) and the 2 LS's on Vossens site sold me on the rims, it's not like I will see 10 people in Chicago with them...so extremely happy with the wheels and quality..first time stepping away from chrome wheels and love em.

it's not your rear that's too low, it's your front thats not low enough. your front tire size is almost a inch over. too big. looks bad *** tho
