You got my rims, I want those sooooooo bad! How's the ride by the way, how much of a drop is that and what suspension set up do you have? Looks so good!

So nice yet so subtle. Wow, excellent choice on going 19. That's crazy! But now I'd think about your poor little brake rotors.....BIG BRAKE kit for front and rears! I think I will have a new wallpaper for the meantime, that is if you don't mind.

why would you want the 3 piece when you can get the Se7en mods for so much cheaper and have the same look?
regardless, the car looks fantastic. love the clear corners too.

Basically, the thing I love about the 3 piece is you can choose ANY offset you want, so forget the wheel spacers. (And you get to choose bolt pattern and finish as well of your choice) Great thing if your going with your wide body kit flared fenders. Plus, I think the se7en 3 piece just looks a smiggen better.

Thanks for the props guys it was a long hard journey to get them but all turned out well as you can see. To answer some of the questions:
I am using the eibach spring kit that has a 1.25" drop all around, but after 6+ months it has settled to be >=1.5" easily. Stock struts for now but those will be replaced w/ Konis over the next few months.
As far as the ride goes it's not as bad as I was expecting, my car is not slammed so it still rides nice although the 215/35 tires do take away from that a bit.
