the wheels weren't any noticeably heavier, however the tires weigh quite a bit. It may cost you 2-4 rwhp on the dyno, the but traction increase is sooooo worth it.

Looks great!

Hope you like the BMR springs more than I do...I hate them.

I love them man, way better than the stockers. My deCarbons were shot, so the Bilsteins are firmer AND more comfortable! I can't wait till I put sway bars in.

Thanks guys

Damn! That looks really good. Big money project right there, looks like it was well worth it though. I've always wanted to get the SS 10 spokes w/ the machined lip widened... I'm jealous How much were the shocks and springs, and how much did the setup lower your car from stock?

Thanks man. All of the expenses were small....but there were a bunch, so when my statement came in the mail I started . But after a quick drive I was again.

The springs I got on sale from New Era Performance (sponsor) for like 214 shipped I think (free shipping at the time). The shocks were around 550 for the set I think.

You know, I never took any before/after measurements, but I think it did exactly what they stated 1". I know the Hotchkis ones settle around 1 1/4", but I think mine stayed at 1". Which is good for my ground effects and exhaust!

Did you take those pics in Antioch? That background looks familiar but i've never seen you around.

Looks good BTW.

well I still put down more than you, and you wont' be talkin when my stroker goes in!

The reloc. brackets are for after lowering the car, they help restore lost traction. You should get some. Its not a requirement, but it helps.

is that an ultra-z hood? it doesn't look like it lines up very good with front bumper cover.
