I said lower it and buy a spacer because the lower you go = more negative camber = it becomes less flush.

 

I would just do coilovers
If you take a look at my pics in this thread you will see that it will look alright.

Your running the same wheel specs as me and I'm lower on coilovers too

Take a peak

 

Pico is there any way you could take a pictures with your wheels lined up so I can see how much they stick out with coil overs? I cant really get a good idea since all your pictures are with your tires turned a little bit.

 

That will differ based on how much camber he has. It comes down to alignment. The lower you are, the more negative your range of possible camber will be. Right now you may be able to get 0* through -2* of camber, but if your car was lowered it would only be able to get to -1* through -3*. It's an example and not serious numbers btw. My rims are the exact same size and offset as yours. Trust me I went through the exact same stuff. If you are lowered on s-techs you will be flush in front and a little sunken in on the back hence what I said in the first place. I've only helped about eleventy billion people with wheel fitments in the will it fit thread.

 

I will try to get you some pictures today.
I will also take a measure F/R from the top of the fender to the pavement so you have an idea of my ride heights

 

oh^ do that! lol i've always wondered how high/low ppl are sitting. but again wuddn't tire pressure also affect that?

 

lol 240 guys will lower their tire pressure for photoshoots to look super low

 

Ok..

Front and Rear fender to ground clearance = 25 5/8

Front bumper clearance = 4 1/8







Blackberry pics -- didn't come out to bad

A few others








I would go lower if NJ roads would allow it. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the look, coilovers will definitely give you an aggressive look.

 

First pico thanks for the pics. That is defenitly what i want the front to look like. Pico you went with stance coilovers would you recommend them?

 

I'm happy with Stance. IMO Stance makes a great coilover for the average spirited driver, and could be used as an entry level auto X coilover. Their PR dept. is great with working people, and work quickly to fix issues if they arise. If you decide to go with Stance please make sure that you remind the vendor that you require the 200mm 6K rear springs. The 175mm spring will cause you to bottom out over larger bumps.

Pros.
Good damping
Adjustments that you can feel
Rears have adjusting links
Durable
Comfortable ride from settings 6-15
Great price

Cons.
Rear ride height adjustments require you to drop the spring to access the collar with the spanner wrench
Heavy
May want to update your sways

 

Are there any other good coilovers that you would suggest?

 

^ I would use the search function to answer that question. There are many options to choose from.
Its all about your price range and what your looking to get out of the coilover.

 

so who is a good dealer for work wheels?

 

Those are some nice shots Pico

 

Ravspec, search through this thread and you should find the number. If still can't find the number then Google it, it should pop up

Thanks Greg
Long time no see brotha

 

I don't know what magic are you guys working on but it seems that ravspec's doing $395 a wheel shipped cheapest. hm...

 

What I did when i was looking for my cr kai was I called every authorized dealer on the works wheels website. I would say about halfway through all the dealers they were starting to be like what other prices are you getting. Then I would say a little bit lower then the actual price I was quoted in hopes of sinking a sweet deal. You could also be like I called every dealer and I want to go through you guys and be like whats the best deal. If its still to high just be like I was offered this. Trust me right now Im pretty sure about any company wants someone to drop like $1,500 on some rims.

 

but you guys' 1399 and my 1580 is still wayyyyyy off lol

 

most of the quotes i've been getting for 18x9.5" has been about $1650 :/

 

^ that's why i thought when i got my 1500 deal was a steal for my 8.5, and some people here's been saying they got theirs shipped for 1400?! =_= i have bad negotiating skills

 

Getting Work wheels for 1400 to 1600 shipped is still a deal IMO.

30 bucks each for center caps (11r) is another story. Most vendors will not budge from that price, and availability can be limited. Kai guys don't need to worry about center caps thou

Ravspec will also match pricing

 

Work is doing free lugs again. I think the prices are lower as well but I haven't gotten any specific quotes to verify. I got this off the Evo forums.

Anyone know how much xt7 in 18x9.5 weighs? I want either that or 11r. I think I like the thicker spoke.

 

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt $@#(*%&^(@#*&^%(*&

 

wait that was you? lol when'd u get the headlight tint?
