Before she goes away for the long long winter, here are a few shots of my car with the rims and suspension installed. I really like the drop, very subtle, practical for the **** roads we have here in my city.

Also it feels alot tigher when turning, I likey! Hope you guys do to:

Give it about a month for the springs to settle. It'll look a lot lower than that.

Nice & clean alot better than stock. I have KYB's with S techs also and yeah they will settle a little more. 17's are the limit for springs anything larger definately coilovers .

looks good dude. i was considering hanabis but thought they would look weird on s14's than s13's. it looks good but would look better with more drop. well as long as you're satisfied that's all that matters.

Do you still want those emblems or what dude? I've never had free stuff linger around so long.

The springs look real good, much improvement over the stock look.

Although I'm not a fan of S-techs (kind of like the Eibach Prokit), coils are overkill unless the car sees track time. Car looks good! First time in a while that I've seen someone rockin' silver wheels.

why would you have to roll a fender with that ride height?

I was thinking that the setup might rub under compression? I'm just trying to see whether or not this wheel/tire setup would rub during spirited driving.

Oops. Thats what no proofreading gets me. I meant to say I would have personally went with no less than an 18 inch rim, and lower it just a little more. haha

Sorry. I posted that right before I went to bed.
