Default Another 083 Thread.....

Just wanted to share some pics of my 083. I know you guys are probably getting sick of these rims..Anyways, right now I'm on NF210, but really want
to go lower. Really thinking about buying some BC coilovers....

Thanks for sharing the photos. I also have a silver GS and the 083's are at the top of my list. Now I know what it'll look like if I bought them!

I do agree with you, however, that you should go lower.

lower would be better! the AWD bc coils are pretty nice. i've had mine on for roughly 4k miles, and they have settled in nicely. there is still a bit of vibration, but most can be eliminated by ensuring the car is level and of course, an allignment is key. keep it up, she's looking very nice.

I never get tired of these wheels. They are classic. Also I love the silver on silver look.
Needs to be lower for sure.

The car looks great the way it is. Go lower and you will get tired of the hardcore tire wear after a couple of years. The money on tires is not what bothers me. Its the repeated visits to tire shops for tires, rebalancing, flipping the tires for best wear, and then rebalance again. The the cycle starts all over. The coilovers will probably give you a better ride but the tires will go quick.

Thanks you guys for all the positive feed back. Before I go lower, I wanna put my kit on first. Still waiting for that Blitz front lip, let's see, it's been 22 weeks since I ordered it. According to Carson, it should be here in 2 more weeks (fingers crossed). When I ordered my Ing's kit (sides & back), it came in, in less then 2 weeks.
