Pics of Tokico/Tein drop

Finally got around to taking pics. You can also see the big brake kit I got from Precision Brakes. Also, note the "maxima.org" license plate frames. Hey, had to show my support. I've had the springs on for about 2 weeks, it's getting better but these roads in VA are horrible. Anyways, just click on my webpage to see the pics. I'm just happy to have gotten rid of the horrible wheel gap.

No, haven't scraped the kit at all. I've had to be careful pulling into parking spaces though. The kit sits lower than most curbs. Still getting used to it. I walked out once and noticed I was a good 2 feet from the curb, ha ha. Better safe than sorry I guess.

Nice ride, HitMan. The first week was horrible. I took a road trip to Florida, so most of my time was on the highway. But when I got into some cities, it was just bump, bump, bump. Better now, but I'm still hoping it will improve a little more. Can't complain about how well it corners though. And those off ramps? Wow.

Yeah I remember the 1st week was hell on mine, my cd player skipped a few times too Dont have any worries at all about going up driveways, just take em at a slight angle and you'll be fine. The speed bumps I still take head on w/o any problems and I did that with 5 people in the car with a total weight of like 1100 in passengers I still had no problem with the driveways or speedbumps, wheels were tuckin though As for the parking blocks, you'll get used to em. I was like 2ft away af 1st too but now get anywere from 1ft-6" away after a few months. It really eased up after it broke in. Once again, it looks sweet man and thanx 4 the complement.

Sweet, dont expect the ride to be quiet a lax as the maxspeeds bro they sucked @ss the 1st week and will be even more harsh on yours considering the rubber bands you got on them 19's. Just letting you know what to expect, but it will ease up quite a bit after. Just remember to aviod pot holes at all costs the 1st week, the hits are hard to the point your vision gets distored for a second, I think you'll like it
