Lol well with tires and all it came out at about 1400-1500. The 2 rear and drivers side front wheels are remanufactured, so they look brand new. The rears were 200 each, the front was 250, and the other front is slightly used( I couldn't find another reman. front) was 250, and it'll cost 100 bucks to have it re finished, so Ill do that at some point. 550 sounds like a deal. What I went through to get these was a nightmare. It took about 6 months to get all 4 wheels

I got a aluminum driveshaft. Although i dont think it really makes a difference though. Nice parts list The dude i talked on the phone with said the drive shaft was good up to 12,000 rpms :ohno: .

Lol this engine will never see 12000 rpms. All that's different is yours is lighter. The steel is lighter than stock, AND its a 1 piece, so it's fine in my books. I just looked at the first pictures of before the coilovers and realized how crazy it is that a 1" drop as such a big effect.

On another note, I cracked my lip again. I'm going to pull it off and redo it again next week :/

Very nice! If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get them for? I have been looking at the LX+ since they came out but dont have funds. Wanting to upgrade from stance basics.

I got them for 1100 from intense power. If your looking at buying now, hold off. Stance is extremely backordered on these. I had to wait about 6 months for them to finally show up at my door. I'm glad I waited though

I am not a huge fan of the zenki fronts. That being said I really really like your car! It is clean. I think some factory kouki side skirts would look great on it, other than that body is perfect. As for the engine bay my my vote is for black. It won't look like it has been wrecked. Some s14s came out with black bays on different colored cars. Mine did, I know it hasnt' been repainted it is factory. The red would look super good too as long as you really cleaned up the bay and shaved any extra holes and tucked alot of the wiring. :dblthumb:

Nice car and I am also saving for the stance lxs

Nice choice for suspension. You own a clean Zenki...
