Default a few new additions to ol' yeller EH2

well Ive had 2 sets of sw388's in the past 2 years, 15" 4lug and 16" 5lug and I loved them, but due to the abundance of rota slips and "spoon" duckbills (fake AND real) around my town I was tired of looking like everyone else, and therefore forced to make a change. I ditched my "spoon" duckbill in favor for a C-West overspoiler from bulletproofautomotive.com and got rid of the sw388's in favor of some 16x7.5 +42 SSR Type C's. I also got a new lip and winglets. Comments are welcome, negative as well as positive.

I like the new spoiler, I think the SWs looked better though.

I love it.

Correct me if I am wrong... but those look like SSR Competitions.

Edit: I am not a fan of those winglets though.

Looks good, I've never seen that wing before, it looks nice. I think the Spoons were better, though.

I'm no ssr expert but I believe silver ones are technically "type C's" and competitions are all the other colors...the sticker on the wheel says Type C.

I know, alot of people arent big fans of the winglets, look at my signature lol

I liked the C-west wing because I've NEVER seen it in person on any cars, its hella different,

thanks for all the comments fellas

I own a set of both. 16x7 Type-Cs and 16x7.5 Comps.

My Comps are silver with a polished lip, exactly like yours. The Type-Cs do not have a polished lip. I believe that is basically the only difference.

yes, 5 lug is just a status thing in my opinion, I did the itr caliper/prelude rotor setup on the front and the braking power is incredible, 5lug IS overrated!

same wheels? yes...I bought them from danny, stripped the ghetto clearcoat off the lips and sanded and polished the lips again...that sucked.

they are pretty cheap, not really cheap for what it is, but cheap overall. I haven't had it on a road course or auto-x'd it but I plan on doing hpde's this summer at pacific raceways, i have done drag racing but im not real into a straight line. The suspension is buddy club p'1 dampers, 1,000lb springs, neuspeed front upper strut bar, stock gsr sway bars, srr lca's, generic rear tie bar, em racing c-pillar and the roll bar. I'd love to live in socal like you where you have many tracks to choose from, and have rr events year round

thanks for the comments
