Looks good, need more pics!

Then you need to roll your fenders and get the B+G springs.

But first pics please!!!

^ what he said :)

btw - with your new v1 lip and no lowering, do you scrape at all?

BOY-u-tiful -- very, very nice and congratulations on the new wheels and street meat -- a lot of tire bites the road on this setup.

mk350z Apr 5, 2004 08:40 AM

Very Nice...The LE's are my favorite Volk wheel.

hfm Apr 5, 2004 08:56 AM

Sweet. I can't decide whether to finish suspension with springs and sways or new wheels. What did you do with your track wheels?

zxsaint Apr 5, 2004 10:41 AM

Thanks for the comments! Springs go on this week.

Strife: I always go up ramps and driveways sideways. No scraping yet with this setup. But after dropping it I know i'll have to be even more careful with just a few inches of clearance.

Hfm: Track wheels are sitting in my garage. I'm between either putting some new rubber on them and using them for track events this summer or selling them.

**Need some advice: smoke the front sidemarkers, or leave it as is?

havabooz Apr 5, 2004 11:15 AM

as is is fine unless you get a set of bats full headlight tints which are SICK..just put them on my car

Didn't get a chance to take many more pics aside from a few group shots.

Here's a zoomed profile shot I cropped -- but I promise to take some great pics this week after the drop.

There's a few more from this set in the southern california regional forums under the SEMA (who's going) thread.

verry nice.

ares Apr 5, 2004 08:30 PM

back tire looks pretty stretched, was that intentional?

rims look great though.

350ed Apr 5, 2004 08:34 PM

I like the side markers the way they are, but don't think you can go wrong smoking them either.

cpoe52 Apr 5, 2004 08:38 PM

Looks Awesome!

zxsaint:

Your car looks awesome! I really like your wheels and tires.

I would leave the clear side markers.

My 2 cents...

personally I like the clear looks, also you have lighter color rims, so it match really nice!! Unless you have some gunmetal rims, then I would definitely go for the smoke look! great job!! Look really good!! I should get my V1 lip pretty soon, and my wheels should get here in a few months! Can't wait. :)

How low are you planning to drop yours? I've got Espelir springs on, and it drop about .5 inch, do you think I would need to roll the fenders?

ronald_m Apr 6, 2004 05:12 AM

Sweet,What color?looks like gunmetal to me.

zxsaint Apr 6, 2004 10:13 AM

ares: Anything under 295 on the 10.5 seems to look stretched from what I've seen. In this case even more, since they're 285/30 rather than 285/35.

zisbak: ordered the s-tech for a very minimal drop. Doesn't seem like it'll rub or affect camber much but it should definitely bring me back to original ride height. The rear is at quite a negative camber right now with the 19's but i'm told this is typical.

ronald: Silver LE's. The silver on the LE37T is actually darker than the TE37's silver to probably better contrast with the polished lip.
