You mention a bunch of names for Chevies... and then reference something that has nothing to do with them.
It's factory height, on 20's.
Welcome to the real world, my Ksports will be here soon so that I can rush out to impress you with the new lowered stance, homie!!!!

To be brutally honest, I will be using the KSports for a period of a month, or two... then removing them and giving them to a cousin as his birthday present. Kills two birds with one stone. Sounds weird, I know... but it gets the job done.

why don't you just buy it and give it too him instead of pointlessly using it for a month? it will save you the hassel and possible suspension component damages (cv boot, axle, etc), not that your gonna run into those again when you get JIC's...

So, how many of you keyboard commandos spend $700 on a birthday present for your cousin?
Seriously, you guys need to get off my jock and obviously worry more about your own funds (and/or presents/gifts), then mine.
He is fully aware that he will be getting used coilovers. And due to the $2k (give or take) pricetag of the JICS, I cannot afford to go RIGHT into them, but I would rather have SOMETHING than factory until I wait for them.
I have access to several lifts, so taking suspension apart more than once isn't an issue.

If you do get K-Sports you will be on them longer then a month or if not you would just by the JICs.

Well, if we want to break down the math...
I have $1000ish of liquidated assets right now. Give or take a few dollars. I am going to be getting back $5890 in late May.
And since I have no outstanding bills, I feel I can grace a family member with his first real modification for his new car.
And, just FYI, people are FAR too worried about what I am doing... and not worried enough about what THEY should be doing.

Money is not something I spend my days worrying about. I am financially stable, have an amazing job, and need no financial advice (the bonus of being a fiscal analyst).
I cannot take the money with me when I die, and I do not intend to procreate, so I spend it or save it as I see fit.
But thanks!

I hope you are going to run a narrower tire on the front. Even then you still are going to need to camber in the front some to get them to fit right without rubbing. I'd like to see what they'll look like when its actually lowered and fitted right. To each his own on their opinions on wheels I'm not a huge fan of those but 
to you for stepping out of the box of what people normally do on here and doing what YOU want which is all that really should matter anyways. I think the drop will make a big difference and either way it will look 20Xs better slammed on whatever rims are on it.

If you dont want people to comment on what "your doing" dont post up any info about it. No one needs to know that your buying K Sports to use for a month and then give them away, just like no one really needs to know that your later going with JICs.
You however feel the need to inform everyone so just deal with the comments.

[QUOTE=BLACKonBLACK98;6350986]those wheels get clowned in the vip world, (so do a32s though). the only reason hr2/hr3 are somewhat accepted is because they are actually made in japan by a vip wheel company, and even then a lot of people hate on them because they are monoblocks.
heres some vip a32 images since we're on the topic. they are from poorer asian countries were the high end models are not available:
you can fit a frying pan into that exhuast up there...HUGE.....and its ok, but it was repainted, and the paint looks good.

At any rate, if you like them, then that is great for you. Just don't get p!$$3d if people question your tastes or your decision-making process.

F'ucking sticky this.
As far as this thread goes, build the car you want. What looks big/wrong/dumb to us really doesn't matter. I do think it's funny that you throw out all this bada'ss experience you have making the sickest rides of all time and are putting K-Sports on your car. That's a s'hit gift by the way as the pillow ***** will be clunking away in no time and your family member will be introduced to doing it wrong and doing it over.

i love that.
about the original...i do like the wheels but i just dont see them being pulled off on that car, but to each his own. i won't discourage you from doing what you want to YOUR car...good luck man and show us what you end up with.
p.s. potholes will now be your very worst enemy

All daily driven JUICED rides.
Get lower than air ride.
Get higher than air ride.
With accumulators, they ride better than air ride at ALL pressure.
