thanks it looks pretty hot right now but its gonna be a little while for the full shot pictures. My ******* friend stripped the bleeder valve hole when he cross threaded the bleeder. so I have to get that retaped well enough so it can hold the crazy amounts of pressure.

i went with 25mm, 20 isnt strong enough, couldve went with 30 actually.....and ya good ol stockers rattled can'd lol. repainting in the next couple of week(hint:its going to be the color of my towhook!) and it is dropped on tanabe gf210's. best spring drop IMO

all in all i would do tanabe gf210(your going to need a camber kit!) i dont have one but coils are coming soon with new wheels. and get 25mm spacers with built in studs. that should be perfect!

^ I agree. Stuff doesnt match.
I would like to see:
Front lip to match the aggressive wing and hood.
Paint the hood to match the car
Rims: Black doesnt work. Either go back to stock color, or buy some decent wheels if budget allows.

I think the blue brakes can work, but you need a theme. Right now nothing matches correctly.

Thanks for the input, to each there own I guess. The new front bumper is already on the list, I'll paint the hood soon enough. As far as rims, the only ones I would replace those with would be a nice set of Volks. While the only thing I don't like about the brakes are the lack of the brembo sign. They look damn good in person, its not canned and sure as hell doesn't look like it up close.
Thanks again for the input. Ill get more pics as progress goes on.

good to see this thread was bumped since there seems to be a growing amount of people who want to powder coat their stockers and dont know where to find any reference pics.

^ I hate the look of black rims with the stock colored door handles if the car isn't black. I think it's just overlooked, or like me, people are just too lazy to deal with it. I was planning on getting mine painted when my bumper went in for paint, but that didn't happen either.
