Needs a nice drop... Tanabe DF210s will do the job just perfect. They look small, like 18s right now but with the drop they will look nice and perfect.

Also, are you planning to color match the faces since its being redone anyways?

I was planning to just keep the finish as is...i think i would grow tired of the color matched look. as for suspension im leaning towards some TEIN CS.. but also trying to find out more about the Tanabe Pro Fives...

I dig the wheels and agree that she needs to be lowered. It will improve trhe stance.
