Hey im Nic and im 21 years old and I live in the northwest suburbs of chicago.

So I bought this car on Christmas day 2011 from a family friend. I thought it would be a nice daily. Told myself I wouldn't do anything to it and keep it all stock. It got to the point where I felt like a goober driving around in a lifted raked Lexus. So... I decided to go to Touge Factory and order coilovers. I purchased them in the beginning of January 2012 and they arrived in the US late this month (April 2012). I put them on and zero'd the toe and these are the results.

This is before

I do have wheels already for it. They're temporary until I save enough money to get more legit wheels. They're 17x9 +26 2003 mustang cobra wheels. With 215/45/17 continental tires.
They fit pretty decent on the car. Once I get around to rolling my fenders that is. Here's a preview

The front is a little more aggressive and needs more camber
