Not for everyone, but I'm the only one that drives it.

How does it sound with the tires rubbing on the fender liner as you drive or hit bumps?

Skid Plate Yet?

I'm having one made this coming week. I'll post concerning how it turns out.


What did you lower it with? Looks great and actually makes the stock rims that much nicer.
Coils. I read 5000 posts saying about how crappy Rokkor coils are and in the end I may decide the same but I was able to buy a nearly new set really cheap so I thought I would try them. I have nothing to compare them to but so far, no complaints. Yep, ride is a bit harsher but not a lot. Handles great. Long term, we'll see. I could still drop a good bit more If I had wanted to.

So far the only rubbing has been the mudgaurds. I've had these on about 3 weeks now.

I think you should raise the rear by 1"... the car might be level the way you have it, but the different sized wheel arches make the rear look like it's sagging.

Otherwise, it looks great. Simple, clean, much better than stock!

The pictures are from above. If you look straight on, on a level surface I left rake in it.

The 18's look great. I'm still debating on going larger.
