Great looking car. I am thinking either H&R's or Tein S-tech for my car.

Are you using stock shocks?

Looks dope! The color of the rim and reflections makes it look really mean with your black.

Thanks guys for the comments. Yeah, I'll probably go lower when I don't need to drive around downtown as much. Alex and David, you guys got ***** for daily driving it hella low.

H&R's are pretty good, I like the drop and am using stock shocks.

When I first saw these wheels last year, I knew I had to get them. 18x10 is the widest they offer and it's RR face. I'll try to get more pics of the concavity.

Hmm, I wanna see these on starfire pearl. The finish looks pretty awesome, even though the pics don't show it in all of its glory.

No rolling or shaving required on H&R. I'm getting BCR coils soon though and may have to mod the fenders if I go with wider tires.

Yeah the pictures don't show the true color of them. I'll wait until better weather to get more pictures.

Nice wheels! Love the BLC/black combo

I'm running the exact same setup with the OEM tyres but with SA-55Ms and Tanabe coils...you're gonna need to mod the rears a bit even with 255s.

Post updated pics once you get the coils on!

Ah but I need new brake pads

I'll come by again next time I'm free, which may be next Saturday actually to do other stuff in the area haha.
I know next week I won't have time to get the pads changed though.
