But seriously, all that money in the iForged and you cut the springs?
this is just temporary till i can afford the springs and shocks i want. i just got tired of the 4x4 look.

i just noticed what your talking about. i actually went out and looked to make sure the other S was there! haha. just the way the picture made it look.

Car looks really nice and clean. Not usually a fan of black wheels but they look perfect on your car.

thanks for all the compliments guys.

i have been searching around the forums looking at silver cars with black wheels and painted calipers and i cant decide what i want now. i'm either going red with a black bracket or black with a silver bracket. what do you think will go better with the colors on my car? i have red suspension pieces. but the exterior of the car is mainly black and silver. hmmm...

That thing looks awsome. I wouldn't put stripes on it. Leave it alone, it looks just right.

I would go with a silver bracket/black caliper/brushed aluminum camaro caliper decal. That would look the best.

I was wondering because right now I'm running:
18x10" w/ a 275/35/18 BFG KSW2 & 18x11" w/ a 315/30/18 BFG DR
And I feel like the fronts are a tiny bit narrow and the rears are a tiny bit wide for my wheels...it seems the BFG DR's tend to run very wide compared to the Nitto's because I had 315 Nitto DR's on a set of 17x11's before and they sat perfect.

I was contemplating switching to Nitto's and running the 285/35/18 555 up front and the 305/35/18 555DR out back

Kind of sucks because the tires only have about 500 miles on them, maybe I'm just being SUPER ****!

1.5 cut off both fronts and the driver side rear.
1 cut off passenger rear b/c my car leaned that way. once i get a adjustable PHB ill have to cut the .5 off the passenger side so it will be even.

i know what you mean man. I'd just keep what you got till you need new tires, then change. but if its really bothering you just get new tires up front so they dont look too skinny. rears are fine, too wide is better then too skinny!
