Well, I finally got some normal pics with my Nikon as opposed to my cell, not the greatest pics or location but theyll do for now. So I wasnt really diggin the black wheels so I switched it up and now have good shots of the new tails. I like it a lot better now im just drooling for a suspension set up now. Some are slightly edited, thats why theyre doubles, let me know what you think

What springs are they? I've been going back and forth between springs and coils. I already have springs, I think I'm just going to get them installed.

Nothing wrong with simple lowering springs. You still get the benefits of better handling and control without dropping the car stupid low or breaking the bank. Coilovers are on a whole new level, but i had no issues or complaints about lowering springs when i had them. They're a fair medium in my opinion.

Brand, spring rate, condition of his current shocks, etc will all effect his experience, though. While I'm not bashing springs, often enough they aren't really an effective medium until you match them up with a decent shock like Koni or Bilstein and until that point will be "bouncy" or not quite as stiff as the stock set-up.

Sidebar to that, the white wheels look great.

Thanks man, and I appreciate the input, Im running stock suspension set up right now, my shocks are pretty good so I think Im ok as of now, I drive a well paved highway to and from work so I really dont hit anything that is going to effect me anytime soon, and this isnt my daily, so I just wanna drop it right now, but I will be going coils before the next winter
