Any info on where these came from? (I only ask b/c I'd like to get a set of LMs but haven't found anyone to tell me the proper offsets) Thanks.

I purchased the wheels off of ebay and got a great deal. The exhaust is Injen, with the straight tips. The offets on these are 18mm F and 22mm R. Not sure what they would be on the LM's.

I like those rims, they look really good. Can somebody say lowering springs? lol Once you drop that Z 3/4 to 1 inch it will look complete. Nice job. BEN

Yeah...your right I do need to lower the car, unfortunately with the purchase of the wheels and tires, the exhaust and the intake, I am a little short on dough at the moment. Once I can pay off some of this, lowering the car will be one of the next things I do. What would you recommend buying to lower the car..brand, cost, etc. I don't want to buy something that crazy in price, but definitely something that is quality and not a cheap product that won't be effective. Also would like to tint the windows at some point down the road. Thanks!

You are going to get a lot of different opinions on springs and suspension. If you are like me, and want low price, good feel, and lowered without being to aggresive, I would go with the hotchkis springs. You will pay about 145$ for the 4 springs. Drops your car about .5" front and .75" in the rear. This is what I have and I think it looks perfect. Any lower and then you start messing with allignment issues and ground clearance. I got my springs and hotchkis sways put on and my car feels so bad azz now, its not even funny. good luck. BEN

I guess the main thing I am worried about is messing with clearance and bottoming out say on ramps or other spots where I could hit the front end. I definitely want it to look more aggressive, but thats really the only concern is about going too low and really what too low would be. Otherwise, between the Hotchkis springs and the Tein, I have heard some good things. Both seem pretty affordable.

I debated the same thing. I live in new mexico with bad roads and dips and hills and even my driveway is steep as heck, No problems with scraping at all with the hotchkis. The Teins are good springs also but IMO, I dont quite like the way that Tein springs lower the front more than the rear. I like a nice even looking lowering job not the nose to the ground and azz in the air look. Not trying to diss any one with the Tein, just my personally preference. BEN

I'll have to do some more research and read some more reviews, but from hearing that you don't have any problems, I will definitely consider purchasing the Hotchkis springs and sways. Like I said though, it will be some time before that happens. There's always so much to do, but not enough money to do it. How do you like the pulleys? Notice anything?
