This is how I bought it in december 2011 with 35000 miles













then I wanted to start with suspension, I wanted to bought Tein street basis coilovers, but since I haven't got good experiences with coilovers, I chose to buy eibach sportline springs and tokico HP series shocks.











Results











a little negative camber



New 06 09 headlight arrived from factory but I'm not intalling till y re paint the hole car







Time for some new wheels

Varrstoen 1.1.2 with Hankook V12

19x9.5 ET22 245/35 front
19x11 ET25 275/35 rear













a quick photoshoot with the wheels mounted











There was no need to roll fenders, but maybe I'll do it and then put some spacers to get a much more agressive look



Next I'm planing to repainting the car soon

+1 on why repainting?

Car looks good, the drop with stock wheels was killing me with those offsets

The pictures make the wheel colors look different front to back
probably just the pics though

Yea you're gonna hear from several people that you shouldn't have gotten varrstoen, it's your car and build it the way you want, I personally wouldn't get varrstoen but I think you pulled it off good. Keep it up!!!

why? are these wheels bad? appart from the fact that they are called replica? I'm not trying to make them pass as the real deal by not putting the center caps or using real bbs caps, and it's not like I have many options like you guys in the US, I have to pay a lot extra for any wheels, taxes and internacional shippment, I would love to buy Volk's or BBS's but I have to pay much more for them than you do.

guy hit a small pothole/bump in virginia and the wheel barrel failed.

Colors from front to rear do look off but it may just be the lighting.......or Vardog QC.
