Big change coming. **PHOTOS ADDED - WHEELS & SUSPENSION**

[RedRyder]

I am finally getting my suspension installed that's been collecting dust for a year and am very excited. I wanted to find a nice set of 18" rims before I lowered, and I didn't find exactly what I wanted until a couple months ago. I know you lower the car before you install rims, but I really wanted a new look, or moreso a transformation, so I thought why not do suspension and new rims both at once.

I am dropping my car off today after work and they will be installing the shocks/springs tomorrow. As far as I know they are the most highly recommended suspension shop in the city, plus they are Koni installers so I'm feeling good about it. Not to mention that when I told them how I tried to install it (w/Coupe2000) the right rear horizontal bolt was rusted inside the foot of the strut and they knew what I was talking about.

Anyway if everything goes right, come Thursday I'll be lowered on Koni SP1's (yellows) and Eibach Pro's. I know, conservative drop but I want to take it easy and see how everything goes as my car is a DD. We'll see how the drop looks with my 17's, but come Friday I'm slapping the 18's on, and absolutely cannot wait!

I'll just take this moment to say I freakin love this site, it really helped me find the right setup for me.

Not too thrilled about the rental I'm getting but o well.

Yee haw.

haha since I only need a rental for a day or two i got the cheapest thing they had. these are the only circumstances under which i will drive a compact car. needless to say i will be spending a lot of time on the site until i get my car back because i will be embarassed to go out in public!

I bought a pristine set of RH Evolution C2000 Limited Ed's that are 18x7.5 +42.

Cannot wait to have a more beefy, athletic stance!

Re: Big change coming.

you're cars gonna look 4x4 still with that drop, especially with the fact that you are putting 18's on it.
BUt nice rims none the less!

Re: Big change coming.

Can't wait to see the change man! No, you will not look 4x4 haha. I am only dropped 1.7f 1.5r on Neuspeed Sports with 18" rims, and people tell me I still look 4x4 (I beg to differ ) Just do whatever suits you, it will still look badass. Pro-Kits are a pretty good drop too, way lower than Neuspeed Sports.



Waiting anxiously to see them C2's on there!!
