WTF is wrong with you guys? Cant ing wait to jump someone ass huh? You want some ing pictures? HERE! These were taken while the veilside kit was in the process of being put on. I know for a FACT what he says is true. This is the only pic that I got on me. HONESTLY dont be such assholes! Why the hell would he give a rats ass to lie on here? If you see his PPD avg then you can see he rarely comes on here. Mainly to buy shit for his car, NOT to get dissed by a bunch of jerks.


I apologize for the venting.

What you guys have to understand is that having anything over 19" for wheels, no matter the conventional vehicle, greatly distresses the vehicles dynamics. Thus, making the car extremly unstable at 60mph+ (recall the 2000 MT article of modded German rides that nearly rolled while performing a 70mph+ lane change with 20's). With 20's you greatly increase the gyroscopic physics of the wheels which can result in a horrible, dangerous, and rediculous looking S2k. Finally, if you drive your S2k like most ppl do, you like to hit those apex's with wheels a blazin, and 20's are not conducive to this type of driving experience.

My wheel recommendation: Work Meister SR2's (look great and reduce unprung weight significantly)

Wow....I think we all need to step back and take a breath. It is possible to put 20's on an S. It is also possible to put a NEON frame on an 4WD chassy. It all depends on how much money you spend and what you want out of it.

Take it at that andlets keep the flames down. Thanks

I stand corrected. a little.


But why is his car all primered up? Did he buy it from a wreck?

Curious on the story behind it?

RubyRashel-Hey, I told everyone I'd reserve judgement for when he sends me the pics, but I will admit, that they way he worded things it seemed sketchy. He probably has the parts, I just think he didn't go about it the right way with how he described it. I'm not judging, but he should phrase it better than, "I got the Veilside and 19's. Everybody can't stop staring."
