Default Finally made some good progress, 6 pics

Got an early graduation present, decided to spend a little on the car:
Dropped with Ground Control coilovers
16 X 7.5 Bronze Rota Circuit 8
20% tint all around




Few other pictures:




Should have a full system and side markers by the end of June, and plan on saving up to fully build, turbo, finish suspension, new brakes, ect... but that will be a while. Thanks for looking.

Whys the back so much lower than the front, and I believe they're 16x7. Bit too low for my taste

it looks like the back is lower than the front. i hate when a car has that stance. i say u raise the back of it just a little and it'll look hot.

that drop looks really "wierd" ... i always like having the back at the same height as the front or a LITTLE bit higher. but whatever floats your boat.

As long as the body is even...its a good drop. Sometimes coilovers can be tricky, but eh well.

Front is as low as it goes, so i gotta raise the back to make it look proper. Reguardless of the negative camber in the back the tires are not showing any extra wear and there is plenty of space on each side of the tire so its not rubbing. My future plans are RSX type-r or s swap, 6 speed of course, and turbo. Its a lot of money though so its going to be a long while. I have a few more minor things for the nearer future, i will keep you guys posted as i get pics and whatnot, still waiting for a lot of parts to become available. Oh and the tire size is 205 50 16.

are you kidding me? just wait till you drive it more... you'll see alot of extra tire wear if not little

akaEsCo01 - read before you post, he said the front is as low as it goes

Well i am just saying its not an immediate problem at this point. I am going to get an ingalls kit as soon as i get some other things done... as i said its not rubbing so i have a little time to spare.
