Well, after getting ready to buy an sti then finding out my insurance quote was wrong and its an extra 100 a month :rant: (f that), and 2 people backout of buying my wheels, I said F it and ordered some suspension and put my wheels on..

excuse the car, its dirty as poop and havn't washed it in 4 months

I had some UGLY ass konig wheels on (stock size), and they drove me nuts.. look how ugly it is stock :barf:

The wheels! 18x8.5 +38 18x10+35, I had 245/40/18s for the front, I bought some 295/35/18s for the rear when I was doing my 1.5jz, but those wont fit without some body massaging, so I had some 255/40/18s in the garage and threw them on.. better then 150+ for decent tires (used)

Now i can hang out with the local drifter 240s!

Ha's w/ tien hats (but silver? i though they were gold or green). I got em used of ebay.. I was thinknig about new flexes (remember being like 1200, but they're 1600 now!)

no rubs.. when I pull out the camber I might get a tad on the front

If that is the lowest setting it will go a lot lower. I have the same set up and I am at the lowest in rear and almost all the way down in front.

there were only like 1 or 2 threads left to the bottom when i put them on. Maybe have different spring or something? They're a lot more stiff then my hks coilovers i had on my old 2jz car. I'm not sure what the shocks are set at on these (feel firmer then the hks at 32 or wahteve the max was though), didn't bother checking, was tired of working on it.. lol

I told you that 92 was a keeper, looking good Justin!

I guess you dont need the tein wrenches today then :)
Swing by the house, I will be out working within my Supra hell of nonending project. I want to ride and see how those teins feel.

they're NZO corsa wheels or something.. generic brand, but they're cheap, lol...

Chris, haha.. well see.. Still not as good as a black one... I did it so it'd at least look ok for a few months while I save more.

jay: yea i'll be taking it
