That is a sweet car, I like it. That is like what I want to do to mine, I just don't have any money! Anyways that is an awesome car, thanks for taking some pics of it, I wanted to see what it looked like lowered. Are those 17 or 18 inch rims?

They are 17 in Gunmetal Velox VX-8s, wrapped in Kuhmo Ecsta 711s, they are super grippy even more so than the Nittos I had before. I had Gunmetal Tenzo AV-7s on it before these and I really liked them but with the polished lip of the Velox they stand out more. It's lowered 2.5 inches.I lowered it for less than $100. i think I paid $72 dollars on Ebay for the springs lowered it then paid $20 for a Upper front strut brace. You wouldn't beleive how much difference that makes. i did have to put a camber kit on front to fix a slight alignment problem after lowering but that was like $100. I did all the labor on the car myself it's easy. Some one who knows anything about cars can lower it in under 3 hrs. I bought the new rims off the internet Tires and all , mounted balanced and shipped to my door for $850.

Ok, thanks. My Dad and Grandpa both know stuff about cars, so maybe they can help me with the lowering part. I was going to take it to someone and have it done, but if its something they can handle, then I'm not going to pay a whole lot of money to take it in. I have been looking at rims, my birthday is in like a month so I may just ask my parents for rims for my birthday. Well thanks again!
