A big thanks to Drivesthebeast for a great sale and some great stuff!
Don't mind the dirt and my early-morning metering blunder. Sooo tired. :blink:

P.S. - you're impatient. :D And is FC.net slow or is just that time of night where they're doing all the backups?

Either super snail time or maybe a bit less work... H+R coilovers perhaps. It's all up in the air for another couple of weeks.
I can't get over how LIGHT they are! They're like 2/3rds - 3/4s the weight of a single 16" stocker with 50-series on them.

Noooo, don't tell me you got them for 500$
Dang, he was asking 800, then 750.
Oh well, congrats on the deal and this is a great look on your car :banger:
I was considering them, but thought they might clash with my CD Silver paint.
Oh, btw, I would remove that dealership sticker.
Congrats again on your upgrade.

Heh, but for the fact I would have had no takers for the rims I have on mine now I would have jumped at them sigh

Nikiter got his for $500, not NOS.
I think they would look sweet on a silver car...I had similar wheels ;)

The coilover setup is contingent on two things:
1 - height adjustments spring and fall (highest in the fall, near lowest in the spring)
2 - constant cleaning of the coilovers to prevent rusting.
At this rate it's either yes to both or store it and get a beater for the winter.
Failing that, no coilovers. It's definitely a want that may never see the light of day. A guy can dream, no? :D
