Looks too boring imo. Coupe 18's and 18's, m45s and g37s wheels all would look wayy better

Plus, this is my DD, and I'll need clearance for the snow and bad weather so I really don't want to go too low.
Use some Coupe springs in the front and Sedan Sports in the rear. That's what I did. It's not 'slammed' by any means, but keeps it functional for a DD that hauls stuff around and might see some snow.

Also, you can't use Coupe struts in the front if that's what you were planning on doing. Just re-use the ones you have.

I think it looks good. The major thing is that there is sooo much potential for this look.

I would LOVE to run some of the FX 20s on my car but they weigh about double of what the 18s weigh, seriously like lead anchors.

You stayed close to stock which is good. I love the OEM wheel look over some cheap pair of crap wheels any day! Good work so far. A drop will really bring the look together!

Thanks for the info, do you have any pics of how your car sits with the coupe/sedan spring combo? And yes, I realized after doing some more research that the coupe struts won't work on an X. I'm actually thinking about trying a set of the KYB replacement X struts with the coupe front springs - I'll build the whole setup with new strut mounts on top so I can just R&R them real quick. It'll make life easier, especially since my OEM struts have 74K already.

That looks good. I thought it might come out bad but looks good.

Here's a comparison shot between the two styles -



I still need to take advantage of the nice weather and clean my car and get some better pics!

Sorry, just saw this. I have some pics somewhere. I'll look for them tonight and send you a PM.
