post some pics and let us know what u think. I'm pretty sure that once I get my rims installed, the next thing will be the tein HA suspension. Good luck w/ the install.

sorry, but i didn't see the pics earlier. It looks like u have the Z3's (correct me if i am wrong). What size are they, and did the Tein suspension interfere w/ clearance, etc. I have the Z2's (not installed yet...waiting till after winter) in 18x9 F and 18x10R, but i don't know if i willl be able to get the tein suspension w/o rolling the fenders or something.

I have auto couture supremes 18x8.5F 18x10R. Im pretty sure with the car lowered it will rub some but Im getting the fenders rolled next week so that should take care of it. I'll let everyone know how it turns out later today.

SupraDirect Has them for sale for $1041. Then add on $150 for install. Unless you want to do it your self. When I put them in it took about 30mins for each front and 15mins for each back.

I think Steve Ganz sells the Tein HA's for less than $1000 shipped...the HA's retail for $1090 (Tein part number DST60-K1SS2)...

...but whatever you paid, at least you'll get rid of that gap! Damn, it looks like it's lifted! Has it always looked like that (even with the stock wheels)? My SC doesn't look that high and it's on stock suspension...)

Nice pick on the wheels....what size did you get?

WOW less the $1000 shipped is a smokin deal. Cost on them is $900. The car looked fine on the stock wheels but once the 18s went on, it looked like a 4x4. Im just waiting to get the fenders rolled now. Then I'll lower it all the way in the front and another half inch in back.

Can you post a quick procedure on the R&R method since you do it so fast?

Hey, what size tires are you running?

Are you sure you need to roll the fenders? You should be running a +38 and +42 (front/rear) setup...you should be able to lower it w/o rubbing...is it rubbing now (like when you hit dips or a speedbump or anything?)...if not, you won't need to roll the fenders....

Do you have some high resolution pictures of your car? Can you email me at GS430@mac.com if you do...thanks!

How do you like the ride on the HA's with the 18's?

Any future plans for the car?
