Default updated car pics :]

So I spent about 1 minute snapping some new pics in a shitty location, I am just happy with the progress I've made and wanted to share. I wouldn't mind some input on it's stance as well, I know I need to push the wheels out a little (thinking 10mm all around), and I need a slight drop.. but I need to keep it high enough, its a daily driver and I go over some steeper speed bumps and driveways fairly often

Let me know what you think! ;]

I say go with Tanabe GF210 or Eibach pro-kit springs if you want a slight drop, and go with a little more than 10mm spacers.


but looks good.

You need:

-better location and camera
-Tokico D-Spec suspension
-If you're sticking with those wheels you need AT LEAST 20mm front and 25mm rear...

GF210s will definitely give a little drop if that's what you're looking for. I love my D-Spec setup, but it IS a pain in the *** sometimes. Spacers are a must (I need some my damn self).

thanks for the input guys. wasnt me on 167, at least I don't think..

the rears are already pretty damn close to being flush with the fender, I don't want them sticking out too badly. I think 20-25mm would have them out a bit more then I'd like, but I hear what you are saying.. you aren't the first to suggest larger spacers.. actually the third so far :[

I can get some eibach 15mm's for 90 shipped for two.. should I pick those up and get some 20s for the rears? would I need to get my fenders rolled? ;/

hah : ) Guess I am a little more conservative. I know I am going to hate myself if I get the wrong size spacers and it doesn't look right though.

25mm spacer on the front will not make them stick. As a matter of fact 25mm is the ideal spacer for the front believe me. 20mm for the rear might require some fender rolling, but if you are concerned about that i would go with 15mm in the rear. Let me know what you are going to do.

I hear you man they were your old wheels, I imagine you know best!

25mm just seems like a lot. are you sure 20 wouldnt make them flush? maybe 20 front 15 rears? would 15 require a roll?..

did you move down to Everett yet?

nah, i still up here in Shoreline for another month, most of my stuff have been moved in a storage up on 128th though. Anyways, 25mm front is what you really need. The rear looks really good with a 25mm spacer, but you gotta roll the fenders which is easy ( i know someone if you decide to go this route). 15mm is what you seem to be looking for the rear. Also i would recommend you to get the 15mm spacer with built in studs since it makes everything a lot easier. Regarding lowering from what i have seen and heard from you, you will be happy with just springs. Coilovers is great to have , but in your case it would be pointless and can get pricy. See what other people think and decide what you are gonna do yourself.

I think I'll start out with the spacers and see how it looks and go from there. most likely doing springs as you suggested if I do drop it : ]

JIC coilovers

Orange is not a color, it's a fruit. LOL

Looks clean, but you need to drop it till it scrapes. But then again, I don't think SUV's can get around Seattle roads without scraping. Hell, I cant get up my drive way without a ramp. HA!!!

Don't like the wheel Design.

You need a different car. Not a good choice for picking up women. You need like...a turbo VW bug with a flower on the dash.

I still love the LS. It was my favorite color when the Z33 first came out.

I don't need to pick up women. I've been with my girlfriend for nearly 4 years. ;]

I actually went with an enth trim specifically to get this color - I passed on a GT silverstone that was a killer deal as well.

What can I say, I like vibrant colors. I like the wheels too obviously
