Greetings. I am at a crossroads on what I want to do next appearance wise. Here are my 2 options.

1. Buy a shock/lowering spring setup...most likely Bilstein/BMR. I will likely have to pickup a adjustable PH bar as well...putting me pretty close to $1K.

2. Buy some 17x11 Torq Thrust II's to go along with the 17x9.5's I have to get that nice meaty rubber going out back. Wheels/tires + shipping will be right around $1k as well.

The wheels/tires will be more "instant gratifcation" as I will likely have to find someone to help do the front suspension. Thoughts? Pics of the car are in my profile BTW.

 

I say springs/shocks, unless you have some snowflake rims on the car LOL

 

Haha, no stock WS6'ers are on right now.

 

I would do wheels but not TTII's. Way to common and over done.

I would say get these http://oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/Whee...Wheels-Black_5 and you can still fit a meaty tire in the back.

 

Hey leave me out of this.

Lmao. I say do the shocks & springs. You already have awesome WS6 wheels, it's gonna look great once it's dropped. The TT2's would look good, but I don't think it would look complete until the car was lowered.

DO THE SPRINGS!

 

Bmr all the way

 

Maybe springs and shocks first, so that you can see what size wheels you can put on. I plan on putting springs and shocks on first before i go the wheel and tire route. I would rather buy the wheels from OE Wheels then get some TT II`s....i think those wheels are used way to much on our cars. They look great, but a little played out.

 

I agree with this, but good luck keeping close to $1000 with them being 18"

 

I had to make this decision in May and decided to go with the koni/bmr setup before I got wheels. Please lower the car first, changes the way it feels so much and looks way better. Plus, you might be able to pick up a set of used tt2 rears for way cheaper than buying new. Also, stick with the tt2s, they are popular for a reason. Much higher quality wheel than that corvette replica wheel in the link above.

 

To me nothing really sets off a stock car like aftermarket wheels. Adding my anthracite TTM's is probably my favorite mod to date. So that would be my choice.

 

Buy wheels...
Sell your old ones...
Save a bit and buy springs/shocks

 

I already have a set of 4 17x9.5 TTII's, but 2 have a slight bend in the lip from hitting a nasty pothole. Therefore I have 2 good 17x9.5 TTII's, and thought it might be a good opportunity to snag to 17x11's. Man its a tough call.

I should have just pulled the trigger in May and got the Koni/BMR combo when it was on sale. Damn.

 

figure out what wheels you want and which suspension will go with it, function & form!

I 'd say suspension first, and then new wheels. Less is more with these cars.

 

Have your ws6 wheels widened buy new rear tires and sell your tt2's and then lower your car should all equal out to under a grand

 

huh? lol I had them to bro, back in da day haha



then I made them look real cool and painted them blk w/lip unpainted LMAOOO

 

suspension first...

 

1k Is enough to do both, if your willing to compromise, ditch the phb, and get a set of used TTs

 

Not a good idea. A lowered car needs an adjustable PHB. Especially with 17x11s. 315s are going to be $400+ unless he gets shittytomos.

 

Yea that was a my bad, for some reason I thought he was talking about the watts link, brain fart

 

I thought about widening the WS6 wheels...perhaps that's what I should do.
