Not the greatest picture, but I have the L-tuned package with 19" Enkei's. I'm sure others have some much better photos.

For those running on the l-tuned suspension and 19" wheels, do you have any regrets not going with the coilover setup? I see so many people with a preference for coilovers, but my finances maybe best suited for the l-tuned supsension. The pics above look great, so maybe it's the more practical route for me to later this year......

Thanks guys-

Neo is on the money. I am unsure about the offsets. I bought them (wheels) from a fellow CL member. Good luck on your purchase, I am gonna do the same for my car except I am gonna get Bilstein shocks with the L-Tuned springs as they are supposed to last longer-

Doug

That's why you make the big bucks-

Bought em from AuoCoutureSC in North OC BTW. Good guy, good deal for me. Gave them to the wife for Mothers Day last year LOL. Actually, she loves em.

I had L-Tuned with my stock 17s, then 18s. Then I went to 19s with the fat tire setup, and the shock travel caused the tires to rub a bit. Plus I didn't think the car was quite low enough so I switched to Tein Flex and I think the car looks better, handles better, and no rubs (well to be completely accurate, *almost* never, once in every 100 miles or so I might hit a strange bump in the road at just the right speed and the front will rub slightly - no biggie).

I'd upload a picture but I see there's now a limit of 800x600 and I don't have time to resize one. Hey mods - the site should automatically resize an upload!
