Nice...keep em coming. Still waiting for my c/o's to come in. BTW...are u guys running square set up on aftermarket wheels? I was getting quotes for wheels and when I mentioned I had an AWD drive he said it wouldn't be a good idea to go staggered because it could mess up the AWD with different size tires...

Staggered, i don't like the "sunk in look" in the rear. Just make sure your tires Front and Rear have the same overall/rolling diameter. I've been rolling staggered for over 3.5yrs and 60k miles without any transmission issues. My car is an 07 with almost 120k. Goodluck.

Same here. I've been staggered for 30k with no issues running 20/9 up front 20/10.5 rears problem free.

Nice that's good to know. What tires sizes are you guys using? I plan to go 20x8.5 or 9 and 20x10.

To each his own. Obviously im on bags. I like to drive low and park lower. I hate wheel gaps.

Ive also been running staggered for about 2 years now. My rotational difference is less then 1%. Havent had any issues either.

Damn all your rides looking GOOD. I'm feeling ready to lower for the summer. Coil overs?

Go with coils. The springs are nice too but with springs you don't have the ability to control your ride height. I think BC-Racing is the only company that makes AWD coils for 3GS ?

Air. Nothing beats being able to adjust your ride height in a second and floating on a cloud of air. It's a bit more expensive, but it's worth it.

Already messaged you. You did not seem interested in my setup.

Good luck getting Ksport products. They take FOREVER to make/ship parts. Expect a 1 month delay.

Nice...I was wondering who else had KSports. How do you like the ride? I ordered KSports as well. I should be getting them sometime next week. I am waiting on my wheels as well so I won't be installing them until I get the wheels...
