NEW Volk Progressives on Sedan!

Alright, so I know Ed (G35Lin) already had these on his black sedan and Pnut (6mtpnut) had them on his ivory pearl, and that pics of these are probably searchable, but I just got them from pnut, and want to show it off!

So today, I got:
Hotchikis Sway Bars (250 shipped from www.titanmotorsports.com)
Eibach ProKit (100 used from Ted [SoCalTed])
Volk Progressives in Gunmetal with Goodyear Eagle F1 (2900 from Pnut [6mtpnut])

I got all this installed at Elegant Autosports by Vic (the owner) for 150

Total: 3400

Just wanted to say thanks to all these people. Pnut definitely hooked it up, Vic did unbelievable work and I would recommend him for any sort of install, and Ted was incredibly nice, friendly and helpful, and Skeleton_Cru for his rims advice that I pestered him with through PMing.

One very minor thing that I personally noticed after they were on. The calipers and rotors look tiny now. Guess that means more modding, haha.

Oh and yeah, I know I know, I need clear corners. I bought some awhile ago, but they were stolen from my parking structure

I dunno if the drop is enough, I really like the "slammed" look that some people got, but I gotta say, with only 1 inch, the ride is still incredibly civil. Obviously, I feel the ground much more, but its really still enjoyable (not that the slammed look isnt enjoyable, in fact, for the driver I'm sure its MORE enjoyable).

I am DEFINITELY open to comments. If you hate em, feel free to let me know. And if you love them, please dont get them, I want to be unique! Skeleton_Cru, I am primarily looking for your approval, yes, I've seen you eat up a lot of people's styles lately (not that I disagree with anything you thought).

Onto PICS!

and for those sedan owners who are looking for rims to put on, heres how I decided.

I made this compilation of pictures to show my friends and family and get their opinions (I know personal opinion is the most important, but my personal opinion is really impacted by what the people close to me think as well).

I stole these pictures from people on THIS site. If you have a problem with me sharing them, let me know and i will take them off ASAP!

These are all in the 19 inch varieties except the coupe 18's

oh, and one more thing (as if I hadn't posted enough already), I went from bone stock suspension to installing 19 inch 265's in the rear, lowered, and sway bars. the sedan has amazing potential to handle like a true sports car. DO THESE MODS, if anything, they are the best bang for buck, it really puts our 260 horsepower into something that can actually handle the road. I am 100 percent statisfied and would never go back.

hahahaha, I can't believe you remember, yeah, that was me. I had them sitting in the garage. Then school got busy and just never had time. That was so funny though when we went to Glenn's. We spent like seriously from 10 in the morning to like night time and finished two cars. At Elegant Autosports, he got mine on in 15 minutes flat! hahahaha, good times, good times

Yeah, all my friends said they look like AMG's too. But in person it doesnt as much just because of the contrast fromt he gunmetal to polished lip.
This is what the AMG looks like

Sedan
Thumbs up

ahgahpeh,

I think your sedan looks HOT! Great choice of wheels. Very classy and clean. It's nice to see someone that does their own research, comes to their own decision and then executes their plan. BRAVO!

Any plans for future mods? I think a nice aero kit would compliment your sedan quite nicely.

PS - You were not pestering me.

PSS - Am I really that hard on people?
