My new suspension pics
Just put some tokicos/goldlines on my car. Here are the pics. I know most of you hate chrome, but I like chrome as long as it isnt crazy swirly crap, and no more than 5 spokes. Car looks better than pics, since Im not a master photographer, but car is very clean. I have 17" MBMotoring rims on Kumho 711s I think they are 205/40/17.

Rep Power: 0 If you arent autocrossing, I would say go with tokicos. they ride much better than stock, and are much cheaper than anything else. Plus they have a warranty, and are made for a 1.75> drop. Mine were 375 shipped, and came with a front camber kit. Ebay has them for like 325 shipped with 100% positive feedback

Rep Power: 312 Although i don't like chrome, those rims are still hideous.
and i'm not saying that because they're chrome. The design is just plain horrible IMO.
But at least you like them. Thats all that matters.

Rep Power: 0 nope, not inserts. just reuse your upper mounts, and you have springs already, correct. so all you would need is the struts, and no modification (unless you have a 03+ I think)
My chromies bling bling gangsta. Y'o

Drop looks good. I've got Goldlines myself, with blown OEM shocks. I'm stuck on whether I should go with some Tokicos or just say screw it and get a set of Tein SS that I've been eyeing.

I dunno if I wanna go with Tokicos or just get Tein SS. I'm leaning toward the Teins setup.

Rep Power: 0 I want some non chrome, but I let my girl pick those out. I told her they had to be 5spoke at least. I am considering selling these for some 18s. I would say my car was lowered about 2.25. From what I measured before, I had about a 3" gap fr, 3.2 rr.

Rep Power: 0 Tint is on my list BTW, after I get some new interior. I tried to vinyl my dash, and I am not happy with it. I was for a while, but now I want it professionally done. Other people really seem to like it though (except my doors and seats dont match) After X-Mas, Im gettin black/grey or dark blue leather doors, dash, seats, panels. Than it is onto the tint. I do sort of freakin hate my rims at times. I was gonna get some sweet rims (not chrome) but my girl didnt like them. Since I was buyin rims and not an Apt. with her, she got to choose.
