I dont really find myself going out of my way to tell someone their car looks ugly or cheap. I just move on. Thats just me though i guess.
Ok your right I take the cheap comment back. But I still dont like your rims.

I'm not liking that he used an air gun. I suggest you loosen and tighten those lugs properly. Other than that drop is good.

I happen to agree with this man, and just because you spent ****ton of money on a set of a high quality wheels doesn't mean you made the right choice (in their view) and it surely doesn't make them *********

on a positive note, the drop is PERFECT and the blue calipers are a nice touch. I just finished installing the same coils this weekend and I agree 100%with your opinion. I wish I can lower it as much as yours, but I daily mine and the roads around here are horrible.

Good luck and please take people's opinion with a grain of salt... after all, this is a free country

The drop and calipers look great. I have to agree with others about the wheels. Also, what are the offsets?

I'm not into the BIG 20" wheel thing but man it looks nice rolling along, sweet job.

I noticed on your install video (unless I missed it) there was no mention of a wheel alignment after install.

Did this happen or did you just roll it out the door?

Ok i did a walk around today and checked ride height....it was a little off from side to side so i tossed the car back on the lift and did some tweakin' on 'em. While i was there i dropped it down another 1/4" in the front. Its now officially sitting on a full 2 1/4" drop up front and 1" 3/4 drop in the rear. Definitely tuckin some tire....and it rides GREAT. Might be a little extreme for the purists and for that i apologize but i like the way it looks. Its the reason i decided to run 275's in rear and 235's in the front, because i was hoping to tuck the tire.



My rim is dirty but that is the drawback to a black wheel......you have 1 hour to drive your car after you wash it and the wheels are already dusty. I wish there was a good anti dust something i could put on them!!
