BIG weekend for my max, rims and drop!

Well, my Max went through a huge change this weekend. I just put on some nice and fresh 18" Giovanna Corsica rims. These look so beautiful, I love them, I got them from a friend and its the best buy Ive done to the day. The second thing I did was drop my car, and yes "I" did it. Me and two of my friends decided to take the initiative to do it ourselves, since we lovw working our cars and this would test our skills. I also got used but in very good condition Eibach SPrings and Tokico Blue shocks. Yes I did a search and fount lots of comments on this combo. I was very hesitant to do the drop, but it didnt hurt to try, and if anything could go back to stock until I can afford some KYB AGXs'. After 7 hours of work, the drop was finally made. It was a complete success, I have never been so proud. This drop looks real nice, and rides surprisingly well, belive it or not it was better than the stock ride. Its stiff, but not rough. I love it. Here are some pics, hope you like.

Are those 18" or 19"? They look pretty big in the "finished product" pic!

no offense, but i find it hard to believe that your car will be that low with eibach springs.. maybe its because your rims and tires are larger?

NICE. No offense but i dont think your car is going to get any lower being that those springs are used and have been broken in already.
but those 18's look sweet and you already have a nice stance.

Yup photoshopped, but the car is around there. I was also surprised with the drop because Eibachs usually drop the car about 1.5" MAX. I'm gonna try and find some before and after pics, but I know that before, there was a huge wheel gap, and I mean huge. But since the springs were used and already settled...I dont have to wait for the car to reach its lowest. Yeah they are 18's, I actually think they look smaller in real life, I guess its because that 18th inch is that deep dish part with the holes. Whatever Im happy, and Im off to take some pics!
