Smile got new shoes for the ride.



had to change my staggered 18" adr m classics, they got all bent up from pot holes. so decided to look for some rims with a fat lip. came across a great deal on some staggered 19" Stern st2's. 19x8.5 with 2 inch lip in front and 19x9.5 with 3 inch lip in the rear sitting on good year eagle f1's. loving the rims. I think it goes well with my car. Just need to save up for some coilover so I can have my car sitting lower. Anyone got suggestions on what brand coilover to get? I know TEIN's are good.

yeah I'm sitting on the tanabe df210's. the drop wasn't low enough to the way I want it. there is still about an inch of wheel gap.

look into k-sports, once adjusted right, they ride good, not to stiff, not to soft, are you going to be trackign the car?

Just had a set of Ksports coilovers installed yesterday with my 3GS 18" wheels on. They rode better then the stock suspension. Just like deknick mentioned.

yeah I know. I need to get coilovers next. My next plan is 2jzgte swap first. then after save some money and coil overs. need to drop the car even lower to get that flush look.

Default D2's

I've been running the D2 coils for about six months and they are pretty nice. This is my first set of coils, so, I don't quite know what to compare it to, but, I was really concerned about the ride before I got them, but, since, I'm feeling them! Great handling and it pretty much feels better than stock with the proper dampner adjustments.


Quick Reply: got new shoes for the ride.
