Rep Power: 0 just bought a virgin EK! I'm stoked!!
hey guys finally found a virgin EK and just drove it home 300 miles and it made it home all in one piece..lol anyways, I want to start the devirginization process..lol i'm looking into exterior first. rota gt3 white 15 or 16? what's your advice? this is going to be my daily driver. stock d16 engine for now, I own a lifter 4runner so this is like a hybrid for me. also I want to lower it. buddy recommended twin springs in combination with koni shocks. I would like the stance on the photo bellow, what do you guys think? any suggestions?

Welcome.
To lower the car, I definitely agree with what GolNat said. Koni Sport (Yellow) shocks, paired with Ground Control coilover sleeves will get you the drop you need, and most importantly, they are both excellent quality and come with lifetime warranties. With Ground Control, you choose your own spring rates (stiffness). Do some research, but if the car is going to be your daily driver, I'd say go with something like a 450 spring rate up front, and a 350-380 in the rear. That will be a good balance, and will really stiffen up the car, along with keeping it comfortable.
For wheels, I really think 16s look best. I'm currently running some 16x7 Rota Slipstreams. Size wise, they are perfect IMO.
What other exterior parts were you looking for? Front and rear lip, grill, etc? And what year is your car '96-'98 or '99-'00?
