no i am not trying to make it look like that.. i was bored and did not have any good pics of my car, as u can tell i photoshopped my rims onto that car. I got my own plans for my car, ull see. laugh.gif And i think we did drill the holes only where needed and did not make too much extra space that would cause it to go off balance. But we have to replace my clutch, *rough driver me, burned a new clutch in like 20k miles.. haha* so when we do that, we are going to install my rotors, which will call for a alignment so i will get the hubcentric rings installed and a 4 wheel alignment and i should not have any problems. Thanks guys.

Didn't notice that you choped your wheels to that picture. I thought he had those wheels and you got the same ones.

Well, keep us updated man on your work. Are you doing anything performance wise?

before you do anything else, lower it. itll make the wheels look like they should be there even more.

i wish i could lower it. Not in my town, way too many bumps and stuff around here, would totally mess up my body kit when i get it. and it already rubs at times the way it is.

how wide are the tires? Eibach is only a 1.25" drop, it will add a nice touch it while keeping your car high enough off the ground.

You should have gotten 215/40. Your speedo is way off with those tires man.

It takes 2 hrs to replace the springs if all the bolts were taken off recently.

yeah with a smaller tire size you wouldn't have rub, and the inch drop won't affect to much anyways. what kit are you thinking about.
