They are very similar but mine have more of the "fake" studs and a machined lip instead of a chrome lip but the center is the same. They ended up being within my price range and as a bonus, they look good on the car The suspension is a Tein Supersport "performance" coilover setup so the springs come with the dampers. They are height and dampening (rebound too) adjustable. The dampening adjustment can be made from inside the car if you spend an extra $800 (fitted) for the EDFC (electronic controller). I will definately be doing this as it allows you to go from stiff to soft and anywhere in between by pressing a button or two. I also got Whiteline sway bars and a camber caster kit. I just did a highway drive in it and the setup is great. For how flat it all keeps the car and how well it puts the car where you want it with the right attitude, it still has a VERY good ride. Firm but smooth.You have to lower your car dude- it's a must with nice wheels! Edited 13/12/07 03:40 PM by Dagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 04/12/07 02:53 AM Share Posted 04/12/07 02:53 AM Yeah I definitly want to lower it but I don't really wanna be scraping bumpers and chewing cv's (the way I drop the clutch sometimes its bound to happen lol).I'm thinking I mite just drop the back just to level it out and get it sittin flat that way its still practical and it shouldn't look like a monster truck anymore hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front went down 25mm and the rear went down 40mm. I think you would be safe dropping the front by 15mm. and the rear as needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a real good go at them but over stock suspension, wheels and tyres, there is mountains of difference but that's what I would expect. Very little body roll. Accelerating hard in a corner enduces some oversteer but it seems fairly neutral when you back off. I havent doen any tweaking so there's room for improvement. I really like them!

But I'd say you definitely, 100%, absolutely, positively, for sure need Tsatsiki injection because having only 1 gear, you'll need to rev it to 9500 rpm. Oh yeah, you'll have to get a tune too.
