wecome!

The vertex kit is hot. I'm waiting to build up some more funds before I purchase the vertex kit. I have a silver GS as well

As for rims, you should talk to Derrick, or D2Autosport. He's got the answers to your questions about rims and what to choose.

The Tein CS are great, especially if you plan to get rims. I have the Tein FLEX on my car, but from past experiences, they ride a bit more harsh than the CS, and I ended up bending my rims. But the CS are great, and your car will ride and look awesome after you get the coilovers.

Get ready to lose money.

Thanks. I chatted with someone on AIM with my handy dandy sidekick last week at D2 Autosport. Got some good prices. When i sold my Integra i parted it out and ending making out pretty good in the end. I figure Rims n tires run around $4000 hopefully less but we'll see what happeneds. I been browses the forums for a lil bit now but just never posted up. I wanted to Turbo or 2JZ swap this bad boy but decided not to and just With on my 240.....Just want a car to ride in style and Luxury now.....From what i read i should have no issues runing 20x8.8r or 9 and 20x10.5 in the rear with the TEIN CS but stretching the hell out of the tire to do so..is this correct? I want to have a HUGE LIP in the Rear while slammed at the same time....Thats what keeps my hesitating on what rims and size right now.....
