Default Finally got them installed... Pics

Well it's been 7 or 8 months in the making, but finally installed the the lowering springs and adj phb. Picked up some tires and had them mounted and balanced. Here's some photos to tide ya guys over for now. I know the car needs a wash, and I have a buddy that has a sick camera and I'll have him take some real photos.

Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks guys, yeah they're the HP split 5's 18x9 with 275's. The rivets are still growing on me, but overall I love the look it gave the car.

I like them alot, but to even it out. you would need to take off the rs ground effects.

Car looks great. I guess the only thing I see wrong is the rivets on the wheels. I don't know why people like them.

Looks good... nice choice. I'd go lower though, it'd look so much better

Thanks guys, maybe it's just me being young, but I prefer the cars with the rs ground effects, I'm actually looking for the front to balance it all out. If I could have got them without the rivets I would have, but i wanted a lip and something different then some corvette rims. I think the wheels are discontinued now, but I don't think they ever made any in an 11 wide. I would like it to be another 1/4" lower or so, but I want to do lt's and true duals soon, so the BMR springs were the choice for me. Hopefully they settle a little bit more, I've only got 20 miles or so on them.

In my opinion, I'd just run mids and a stock-style catback setup. Once my pacesetter collectors start rusting I'm swapping them for midlengths and dropping the car even more. The only problem with lowering these cars are the longtube fitment issues. If I could alter the floorboards to accommodate LT exhaust I would though... sounds expensive though. The way I see it is that you're only gonna be missing like 7-8 rwhp... I find looks more rewarding than maybe a .1 off my 1/4 time.
