I'm really happy with the fitment, the front rubs a little on the inside fender liner but I'm going to take care of that tonight. I MAY run a 10mm spacer in the back, but I'm not sure yet.

Very nice...got an engine shot since you got the intakes?

I love the Stillen splitter, I am getting one this summer especially after seeing how good your car looks with it on! Keep up the good work, which 6k HID bulbs did you get?

You know, my gf got them for me as a present. I want to say she got them from a vendor on here.

I'll post more pics today...

Thanks guys!:hello:

I ordered my new setup today! Should have a lot of it in and on next week...

Wheels & suspension:

Weds SA55M MGM

19x10.5+15 285/35/19
Weds Center caps

BC Racing BR Coilovers (230mm springs)

I also went ahead and ordered another STILLEN front lip, but I'm going to color match it to my car once it comes in.

More info and pics coming soon!

It's about to get a lot cooler (I think)

Coil vers showed up today! I should be putting them on soon, pics to follow!!

Too much low. It's raised up now... trial and error on adjusting ride height takes forever! lol

nice setup looking forward to seeing the rims :tup:

Thanks!

They will be here Monday!

I have a nice Nikon DSLR to take pics of my car, but it's so dirty and I always forget. Once the wheels get here I'll take some nice pics.

:tiphat:

Nooooo dont color matchhh the stillen lippp wahhhh

I had the lip black once already... I'm going to get it painted silver. If it doesn't look good, it can always go back black.

Wheels are in! Thanks to Mark @ Ravspec!

As soon as my lugs show up I'll have these on! They are Matte grey / silver but my speedlite makes them look a little bronze-ish.

Did i ever mention how much I hate you?

I think you did... about 3 or 4 times today.

:happydance:

in for pics!
its gonna look amazing

:P

Hot damn those wheels are going to look fantastic!

Thanks!

I should have them on and mounted today!

I like where this is going. More pictures please!

i'll be waiting by the computer, literally, refreshing the screen every min.

More pics!

I got another Stillen front lip and installed it last night. 16 bolts and 6 screws later... it's on! (and never coming off lol)

Due to some shipping issues my lugs didn't arrive until today, so I'll be getting them mounted this afternoon!

Kics r26 neos!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Z/7c5de1c2.jpg

I'll have pics of the wheels and stuff tomorrow!!

please dont paint the lip1!!!! its so nice :DDD

I decided not to paint it... :-) and apparently getting wheels mounted is like the hardest thing to do. I've had my wheels for a week now and all of my tire mounting buddies keep flaking. :-/

Maybe today I'll have them on... just maybe...

They are on!!

Here are a few pics...

I'm really happy with the fitment, the front rubs a little on the inside fender liner but I'm going to take care of that tonight. I MAY run a 10mm spacer in the back, but I'm not sure yet.

I'll have more pics up soon as soon as I can wash it, it has rained the past 3 days.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice!

Thank you!

i like it sir :)

sick wheels man :)

Nice drop and rims.

Thanks guys!

How big of a drop are you running on your coils? I dropped about an inch on the front and maybe 3/4 of an inch in the rear and Im thinking of getting those WedsSport wheels.... Do you think the reason you are rubbing is that you went with a 40 in the front rather than 35 to lower the tire hight?




DAN

The tire rubs because I'm running +15 offset in the front with a 2.5" drop.

Since I rolled the front fenders, there is no more rubbing and our roads are terrible around here. On a nice smooth surface, it's no issue.

The front tire size is stock and I wouldn't want to go with a 35 as I like the meaty look of rubber on my rim.

I did end up going with a +15mm spacer on the back to make them a 0 offset wheel. I would like my rear to sit a tad bit lower (maybe 1/4 inch) and to do that I'm going to take out one of the perch rings.

I'll probably do this next week... I'll put more pics of it then.

Thanks! :hello:

Thanks for the info, I have been looking at the WedsSport wheesl for a while and I am thinking of pulling the trigger I just wasnt to sure about the rubbing issue with the low offset in the front.... Thanks for the info!




DAN

Can you post a side profile shot with no angle? thanks much! car looks good! just want to see it from a straight-on side view.

Sure...

I took this pic a few days ago with my phone. I'll try to pull out the Nikon when the weather gets better.

:tiphat:
