thanx guys... yes I need to lower my car... Its not too bad as of now but lowering will definitely makes it better...

Thinking about a Tein H-Tech about an inch drop. Not too aggressive but still lowers a good amt.

AXEL - LOL!!! hah at least you know the road situation in MI... bleh. I bet 1.5 drop isnt working well for you in these terrible roads. Im looking for around an inch.. probably about .8 or so. After gettomg these rims I cant take my eyes off the road... sucha PITA trying to avoid all the potholes... arg

NSR_S13 - The rims cost me 200 each from a guy from evolutionm.net (EVO guy)

Graphfixz - No the I had the kit put on.

Thanx guys.

Yup that's the review I get with my car. It's either you like it or you hate it. There's no middle. lol.

It's a veilside imitation. (Invader , Erebuni are some common names)

Personally I like the clean look as well but I got this kit when I was young and didn't know much. But I've gotten used to them.

BTW, Privat has really nice rims like this

http://www.privatwheels.com - website. I think these rims would fit a 240 really well. and they all have good caliper clearance for z32 brakes.

ALOT! and the caliper clearance is ALOT as well.

From the looks of it I'm pretty sure I'll clear coil-overs... I will try to take better pics if you want.
