sweet brothe swap looks clean

[JustDriftMore]

Welcome friend. Get rid of those fwd offset wheels. Get some coilovers: PBM, Stance or Megan (if your broke). And please don't rising sun it. GL

[Mychal]

yea i was just playin on photoshop lol

idk if ill get coilovers, all the ones ive looked at r expensive

[PuNcHdRuNk]

nice work mang, another s-chasis saved from the junkyard.

[Mychal]

would new rims, struts and lowering springs look ok??

i want a flush look with the rims but dont wanna roll/pull fenders

[nevertheless]

With a spring and strut combo you wont have to worry about fender clearence. If you can afford a Sr swap then you can afford some decent coilovers.

[Mychal]

it took me awhile to save up though

could i get a look kinda like this without coilovers?maybe bigger tires and lowering springs?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ No. Lowering springs don't go that low. But they're a helluva lot more comfortable.

You'd have to fill up the extra wheel gap with sidewall.

[Mychal]

thanks man, i know a guy with lowerin springs and 17"s and it looks pretty good

i want to lower it for looks but i dont bc the bolt on exhaust already scrubs sometimes and ive already had to replace a turbo gasket and exhaust mount

i just want the fender space filled in but im thinkin bigger tires will just lift it up and leave the fender space

[E7-S14]

NiceDont remember seeing this car up at NSPerformance.

how long you had it?and rising sun hood is gay.( i wont sugar coat it)

bigger tires will lift the car up and make it look gayer.to get rid of the fender gap, you have to lower it more.

and ditch the wheels!

just some criticism.glad to see another south Carolinian on the forum!

[Mychal]

ive had the car for prolly a year and a half but the swap for almost 3 months

i bought it from a guy named dustin with a black hatch

[Mellexx]

Haha builds ftw! looking forward to seeing more of it.

[user name!]

Make sure you dont get wheels less than 8 inches wide and higher than 35 offset!

[jaindlS13]

Haha I know man, I'm just messing with you. But hopefully you get a new dash, a paint job, new rims, and suspension. Front mount and blow off valve. You'd be set! Thanks man, yeah it's getting rebuilt. Blew that f***er to pieces.

[jaindlS13]

Yeah they do extremely good work
