thats what i said the car isnt low at all! the ride is surprisingly stockish the coilovers have dampening adjustments! i actually stiffened it a bit over the stock softness!

yeah I am on TEIN's and would love to slam the car but man damn pot holes and speed bumps I wouldn't be able to avoid scraping the front lip. =(. I need to get rid of it and opt for an aristo front bumper. but your car is looking good with the eurolines. glad you decided to keep the fat lip rims.



wish I could go lower. I am on staggered 19 stern st2's.

I was told to go with knock offs before I get the real thing to see what look I really want. I was looking at a set of Ace Trends and I thought about it but I'm thinking I should wait and save money.

Haha yeah, I wanted a set SSR Vienna Dish, Work Eurolines or Weds Mavericks so I'm waiting and being patient with working on the car. Besides, none of these knock offs offer proper staggering fitment.

That's one of the VIP S14's. I saw most of them with smaller rims though. Oh and thanks for sending me those links, Cadi. I didn't like the SSR's much but when I saw those black ones I changed my mind about them after seeing them on that LS.

Patience pays off. I have made the mistake of spending over 2K on knockoffs (about 4 sets of wheels) and in the end I was never be happy... if i had saved my money I would have the SSR Professors I have always wanted in the sizes that I have always wanted.
