Here are a cpl more recent pics, you can see she dropped a bit more but not too much, which I like


I would not want the front lip any lower than it is here in this pic, any lower and I would have problems in my driveway... If it was just a show car and not my daily driver I might go lower but she has 54K miles on her and I love to drive her hard

Very nice!! So how much of a drop did you get with those springs? Im in the same boat and daily drive mine as well. I want to keep it user friendly.

Tire sizes are 255x35x19 and 275x35x19. I am running Toyo T1-R which I love, they are grippy and quiet on the road.

The Espelir's dropped the rear about an inch and the front about 3/4". I love the drop, allignment was no problem with these and the handeling couldn't be better!

Next up is a Greddy Grex Chromed BBK and I am Chroming the lips on the Volks as well

Did you need to install camber plates? I am worried about too much negative camber and premature tire wear.

No camber plates needed at all, my alignment was great after these wheels and springs were installed. They did not have to do much of an adjustment at all. I have had these tires for approx 8K miles now and the wear is even over the whole face.

Where did you buy your springs from? Did you upgrade your shocks as well?

Nope, no shocks as of yet. With the mild drop of the Espelir GT's I did not choose to go with shocks at this time. I bought my springs from Chris at F1Motorsports. He has posts in the vendor classified section... He is a great guy and ships very quickly.

Thanks andy. I try to help out where I can

I changed from the Greddy Grex to a Rotora set up... I have them on order and should be here in about 45 or so days... My wheels should be done by friday of this week... (I sent them in for the lips to be chromed, I was not satisfied with the anodized finish).

I will post pics when that is done... Here are a couple more pics from NOPI....









And these are the brakes I am going with VVV



Oh, and I almost forgot... I can't believe I didn't post these yet








Ahhhhhh... I love da' Car Shows
