I'd rather supercharge it and keep the wheel....I'll change them eventually LOL
yeah, uhm.. toss the wagon wheels, the hardtop, and spare and jack. your car will feel DAMN fast again. as it will lose over 100 lbs, and have better leverage with stock wheels, also losing rotating weight.
just MO. im an 18" wheel hater though. THEN add the SC. Ill let you know soon what i think of the KW kit, ive seen all the other kits. I absolutely hate the brp hotside setup. (sorry dave) it blows. blower right above the exhaust, thats smart..

if you're looking for springs try espelirs ASD. i'm on a budget so i'm on ASD springs but if i have the money coilovers would be in order.

AHAHAHA! ya they are. the tires that came with the car when i got it didnt even match and would follow the road whenever im on the freeway and didnt feel safe at all! i went 120mph and i almost lost it! i just bought some used tires for now to hold me off till i get money for some hankook rs-2's =) but i go 120mph like nothing now though, so im happy lol. how do you like the drop with those ASD springs? is the front a little higher than the rear? that was the only thing iw as worried about. with teh skunk2 springs, the orp was a little lower in the front than it was in the rear. so i just got them. i got them online for 172 shipped so i was like....SURE why not aha... it comes in tomorrow, can't wait. i need to get a spring compressor from autzone or something... hope i dont come into any complications =)

Well I got my new rims last week and thought I'd share some pictures with you guys.






I also removed my soft top but forgot to take some pictures of that, and the rims rub in the rear but I'm getting them rolled this weekend hopefully.

I need to relocate my tabs since I'm so low. Just put new brakes on: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=622156&st=0

Jose...pull that windshield tape please! With all the silver, it'll make it flow so much better!

It rubs on the top of the fender but I'm going to roll them anyways, I want to lower it just a bit more when I get coilovers and for removing my tape I'm not going to do it, its like a girl shaving her eye brows just don't like it for this color and Damn I want to get some Spoon calipers too.
