Nice to see you finally got some wheels and lowered your SC. Did you pair the Espelir's w/ stock shocks? I am running the same springs w/ tokico shocks and it can get bumpy especially in NYC.

yes im on stock shocks for now... i plan on getting the tokicos eventually but the stock shocks should be fine for now.. its a bit bumpy which is kinda annoying and the dunlop sport maxx's are really loud.. but it looks 10x better..
