Very beautiful John,
It looks like the wheels/tires are the same size front and back.
What is your tires size?

Can you tell me how much did you pay for the spring?
How much did you lowered the car?
What tires are you using and how much are they?

Thanks!

btw, did you mod the interior too?
Vsix,

Thanks for your comment!

I did the springs a while ago and I think I paid $220. I did the installation myself with the help of a friend with a set of spring compressors that was needed for the fronts. Initial drop was 1.25" and now I'm closer to 1.5".

I ended up going with the Nankang tires because they were cheap and I needed the $'s for the body kit.

The only thing I've done to the interior was move the VDC switch from below the steering wheel to the console:

Kailep,

Wheels and tires are the same all around. I wanted to be able to rotate. The wheels are 19x8.5", tires are 245/35.

Regards,

John

Hey John, how much did you get the full aero kit for and where'd you pick it up from, if you don't mind?

Thanks, dude. Don't know how I missed that part. I guess I was too enamored when looking at the pics of your car.
