Now granted the wheels on the 8 in the video are gaudy, but to have my 8 that low would be ******* sick. You can slam it low for parkin or cruisin on the highway, and raise it over speedbumps.

you can get to a certain point though, that when your car is so low, its impossible to drive and you have to take the time to raise it back up.


With the air ride, you just hit a switch and it raises.

its never impossible, I know people who can put a finger under their body parts, and it'll touch their bodyparts and the ground, and they daily and drift them, but they also have $1000 cars lol

Thanks for the compliments everyone. My car is absolutely filthy here, I had just finished fitting the wheels at my place and cruised down to my friend's house. I parked and happened to have my camera so took some pics, here are some more :-D

Mike - We can *try* test fitting these, I don't know what's going to happen. It'll be fun though!




those are my friend's wheels!

updated pics - outside

here you go, some of these should be better.


hey take a look at pic 5 - i know i need a roll and pull in the back...but the front seems fine EXCEPT this - seems like the tire is hitting the inner wheel well fender liner. can i just file that one little part down so it won't rub??

I had a thread a while back on that exact liner rub and doubtful you can do anything about it.

Looks good man, you will probably need a slight pull in the rear if you decide to go any lower

oh yeah, i agree. well i'm as low as i'll be for awhile (tein s) but i'll still look into it. how bad (i.e. expensive) is a pull? i definitely need to roll the back, i had a quite a few rubs today when i took it out for a drive, but i think i could benefit from a slight pull on the rears too.

it would sit lower if not for the wheels, what a shame. running those big *** lines I bet it leans like a ****, I went with 3/8 on mine and it's pushing it, prob go down to 1/4 after Sema.
