Rep Power: 0 I want to lower it so bad! I was thinking of getting Skunk2 coilovers but they are a lot more than springs. What do you guys recommend? I want about 1" in the front and about 1.5-1.75" in the rear and I don't want a bouncy ride! As for the headlights, I don't want to clear them, my car would be too silver than. I need some color in my life!
Damian, the tires are 215/40/17. Places try to sell ya 205/40/17 but that size is too small and they haven't realized it yet. As for 205/45/17, it's a uncommon profile and you'll have to pay for it in the end(I had them priced out to $200 a tire!). So, I just stuck to 215/40s. As for handling, you can't really spin the tires, it's really hard to and it just doesn't sound good. I noticed a big improvement with the strut brace first off, just really more responsive but still requires a lot concentration for fast cornering. Now, with the tires, I can fly around corners with ease!
Machina, the exhaust is on the quiet side but I am not complaining. My intake is way louder than it and I don't want my exhaust to take away from it. It seems like the exhaust is noticable at lower rpm(3000 and less) and the intake takes over at about 3500rpm. They compliment each other well.
As for my future plans, first off is tint. I want light up front and then a medium for the back windows. Then, I'll take a look at lowering it. I know springs are around $300+install but I don't know any good brands and how they rate(I figure H&R or Eibach). Then, maybe the OEM body kit and my car will be set!
Thanks for taking and posting the pics AsianPride.

Rep Power: 0 Sorry peeps, I just another question. I looked through the whole site and could not find a answer. Which type of fuel do you guys/gals use ?? the reg or premium ? would it make a difference ?? from one to another ?

Rep Power: 0 I use regular, I don't want to pay 10 cents more for prem! Premium will be more completely which means more power but it's a small gain(According to Road & Track? For a mustang cobra svt the gains were about 1-3HP). I read about it before but I can't remember where.
My rims are gunmetal. I can see black opal working better than gunmetal on black. I think it would be too dark.
