Hey give me your opinions, let me know what you think of this kit.

I know the pics are a little dark, I just got the car back after a 2 1/2 month absence from my driveway.

 

played out.......never liked it

but the paint match looks pretty decent.

so overall its good i guess

and u need a drop really bad

 

I had the entire car repainted, got in an accident

I am dropping the rear 1" The front, I cant drop, I have an inclined driveway, I have only 1/2" clearance right now. It drives me crazy!

 

just drive up it side ways. the front really doesn't need it just the back


coilovers would be the best choice since u can choice the height.

 

Looks good, but something is off about the wheel fitment to me. What sizes are your wheels and tires?

 

i think its just the rims, the tops bend inward which looks kinda well...ugly

and from the looks he kinda has stretch going on the tires

 

Hard to tell, but from the second pick it looks like you could use some spacers. What size and offsets are those?

 

I like it and the hood looks nice too.

 

is it just me or are there some pretty large gaps on the sideskirts and rear bumper. the front where the bumper and hood meet has a nice gap but i think its because of the hood?

anyway.... looks pretty good. and congrats on getting the car back. im sure youre pretty excited!

 

i only see the hood/bumper gap. the rest just looks like the lines from body tape.

 

I do have stretch, the tires in the rear are 275 on 10.5j rims.

The 1/2" is with me driving sideways. Its rough. I have to pull in super slow.

The lines aren't gaps, Well the side skirts did have a gap from the way it sits on the stock skirt. I thought those repalced the stock skirts but they dont, they sit on top of them. Strange I though. Well once installed there was a gap, we filled it in with black silicone. It cleaned it up making it look like the 2 black strips on top of the car, so we decided to do that for the rear bumper as well. I was thinking of getting the tein flex but I am not sure if the max height will be high enough, I know even at the max height, my friends g was lower than stock.

 

hood and front bumper need some work

whats the offset on your rear wheels

 

Not sure what the offset is, what ever comes stock with the matrix rims. I didnt specify anything special.

I do want to get some spacers, I wasnt sure how far out I could go. I am going to be stretching my tires so I know I am allowed some forgiveness since I wont have tire rub.

I was thinking maybe 15 or 20mm Not sure. There is about 1/2 inch from the edge of the rim to the edge of the fender.

 

What do you mean?

 

I'm just not a fan of the stretched look in this application. For me, to pull of the stretched look, you better be running negative offsets and negative camber. Just MHO though.

Also I see you mentioned that you're gonna drop the rear 1" yet no drop for the front.... Is that really wise? I'm no suspension expert but I'm pretty sure that would throw the driving characteristics right out the window.

 

^the gap on the drivers side of the hood/bumper. its quite large.

 

thats the same wheel/kit/ rear is 20x10.5 + 25, yours is most likely +35

 

no it will help balance it. his geo is already off by throwing on huge 20s....it will help to regain the balance of the car. since the gaps are closer to even at stock height with stock wheels

 

Looks to kitted and aggressive IMO. I never liked over the top bodykits. Kinda reminds me of cheaper "combat" kits on honda/acuras.

 

Stephan it looks good. I know you're glad to have it back finally. I would add some spacers. Find out what your offsets are and go from there. You can push those wheels out quite a bit with those size tires. I would even go for 285s in the rear at a minimum. Look forward to seeing it up close.
