Default Car upgrades

CLH,
driving around the island or even at meets, seeing all the cars I always wonder where he get that or what offset his he runnin or sometimes what is that........making this thread so everyone can update on upgrades to there cars, along with pics would be awesome too. If you get new wheels, decide to go with a specific coilover or add some pop to the ride, post some pics and details on what you got so we can enjoy your ride along the way to being the ultimate show car

Nice, maybe you should invest in some wheel spacers to push out those rims. Would look a whole lot better IMO...

Where did you get that pricing? I might go that route. =)

I wonder if rev audio would be able to get me a deal on those plus install...

Did you buy directly from vossen? One vendor quoted me $1900 shipped a few months ago. Then got quoted a few weeks ago from the same vendor for $2500. Maybe it's the rise in fuel that's causing the jump?

I got them from the vendor "Team SNS" when they first came out. Guess it was cheaper since it just came out and no one really knew about the quality so I took a shot in the dark. Never been happier! For around $1k I'd go with bcr coils instead though. Try shop around with the vendors if you're looking to go megan, tanabe, or bcr. Save a few hundred rather than going local (although I'd like to support local businesses I just can't pay more for the same product).

Got them through auto customs, rims, shipped, labor, tires all for 3400 out the door. Which ones were u trying to get? Might be the gas rise too though
