jon!
Dropped on Tein Basic coilovers. 1.5" all around. None of my girlfriends have every complained about the ride. Its stiff enough to notice, but not too harsh, just perfect for daily driving.

You should have looked me up when you were up at SF for the holidays, we could have gone out for a beer or something.

Love the bumper
I've got the Rota's, the Sevas, some Z 17's with good rubber and these. So if i sold em all, i'd just keep these. I'm moving to LA soon so the extra money would help the cost of moving and getting a new place and all that.

I woulda been more than happy to meet up for a drink, but i was only up there for 3 days and 2 of them were spent driving, so really only spent xmas day there.

They're super small to me, especially since i'm used to 20's. But they work for now, i've got more important things to be spending money on right now in my life.

No worries Grant. Maybe next time you'll have some free time.

Good luck with the move and the new place bro. The G still looks super sexy, even with the stockers

It's funny, i never have before... i was dead set on ordering a set of Work Meister S1's at the end of this month, but that's not gonna happen now, i dont need more debt.

My new girl has got me straightened out a little so i may just end up keeping the Sevas for now and selling all the other sets, or keeping the 17's and selling the Sevas.

Thanks Kris! I'm still content with the stockers on there, since they're not tucked at all... the day i dont look back atleast twice when walking away from it is the day i'll know i have to get another set of wheels.

The 17 probably give one smooth ride too. I know I like the feel of my stockers, but I do need spacers.

They're the stock Michelin tires on there right now and they've got some inside wear so they're a little squirrelly on the freeway. I'm probably gonna end up replacing them with some Bridgestone RE960AS's in the next couple weeks, then i'll be riding as smooth as ever.
