no just going to tuck tire a hair. but i bought them used and they only have like 800 miles on them. so they should last me a while. i know a bunch of people in the "hellaflush" crowd ride on them fine. im just not gonna spend 1200+ on coils when im not buying them for the performance aspect.

The car is looking great, man. I see you also painted your roof. I've been thinking about this but i'm not sure if it will look proper with my current paint scheme.

The quality of the mdu's has gone downhill...they ride ok it's just the rebound that sucks..and by sucks i mean terrible. Keep an eye on those rears as it's only a matter of time before they blow out because they will.

well if they are anywhere near the quality of my old megan racing coils for my old z, which lasted 35k+ miles, then id be fine with that. these have less than 1000 miles on them. and i have no intentions on slamming the car to the ground. just a nice subtle drop to get rid of all wheel gap. and also, i just bought them for the adjustable ride height aspect.. i dont track my car so i could care less how they perform lol.

But all the money you've put into reps you could've bought real. That's what I told myself

Thanks guys.. the tires look meaty in the pics but they're not so much
its 19x9.5 with 245/35 and 19x11 with 275/35

Kou you have no reason to envy me... your car is insane!! Lol

King- I didn't know they were that cheap lol. But still the reps saved me $1600 I can put towards other stuff


Wheels will be mounted Friday
