i'd hope that's sarcasm because the car is dumped. although, it might be the angle. i have some other ninja shots that clear show the car fingers off the ground but i'd rather wait for the beauty shots to show it off, and in this pic the car is dirty as hell right after they put the suspension and mounted the wheels.

the coilovers have about another 3 inches of play.

the face portion is machine-polished and the windows are match-painted. the other pictures will clearly show this in detail.

the coil-overs are k-sports

i dont have anything aftermarket when it comes to suspension other than the coilovers, which happen to have another 3-4" play in drop which is about twice as much advertised.

i feel like lowering it a tad more in the back, about 1/2 inch to match the front but i'm already dealing with a serious camber, but thankfully, no rubbing what so ever.

i got the wheels direct.

another purposely annoying pixeled too much zoomed in by a phone tease since you asked...



lol... at least here you vaguely see the stance.

i got them from jnz tuning. tell them tony from miami sent you and you might get them for 875 shipped. these are the nitto invos. they are one of the best tires on the market right now for this size but can be pricey (near/above 1k). the ride quality is just fine for me. the dampering has been set at the middle and overall it's just fine for me. it's tight, stiff, and soft at the same time.

can't wait for the shoot.

$875-$950 shipped seems to be the going rate, Apex Motorsports quoted me $950 shipped without any kind of haggling.

around the falls, not far from pinecrest. i haven't seen a single stealth V around here that's had work like this. hopefully it will stand out enough but not too much to thieves. thankfully i have a well monitored garage.

yeah man it's been a couple of months, but so worth the time. the attention to detail is immaculate.

thanks man. i just lit them up on sunday through the beginning of 3rd and man it felt good. i'm hoping this negative camber action i have going on in the back won't kill my tires too quickly. the rears alone were around 600 and aren't interchangable (right to left, left to right)... it would suck to have to replace them too often.

they can be a pretty penny especially if you want anything custom (like the machined face, match-painted windows). usually this specific line (competition spec) can be anywhere between $5,500 to $6,800 for a set.
they're pricey, but once you get them you'll see why.
