Hey with 205/40/16....

your speedo is WAAAAAY off!!! but other than that nice rims... and $600 for the Yokos sounds a little steep, I've seen 205/40/16's for as low as $73 a tire and Yokos for $90-95....

Are you sure those are 16's? I guess you need a little bit of Eibach lovin to make that look right...

has your car had bodywork done to it? (like in the bumper...) because your car is two-tone everywhere else except for bumper? or was that the styling w/ the white 3rd gens of 89-91

And I thoguht I never would, but I liked the factory tires and rims better, I bite my tongue now! But Id say since you have them, lower it then put them back on then itd be nice.

Yeah, definately can do with some 'bottom dropping'. Otherwise, pretty nice setup. Although you could've easily went with 17's. But then again, that's just MY $0.02 worth.

I am in agreement, bruh. Dude needs to be dropped 1.2" at least for this to have any measure of impact.

hey though

the wheels were a steal though for what i paid for them, i couldnt pass them up.. yes todo, they are 16's.. i think i know, i had to get tires for them.. lol.. definately needs some lowering loving', i know.. and the two tone thing? lol, its been wrecked and then fixed by a guy that was good with everything bodywork wise, but does a really crappy job on painting.. im planning on a body kit and re-paint to fix that one.. hmm.. how much will it cost me to lower it?

and, tokiko, or eibach?

You could probably go either way. "Different strokes for different folks", I believe the saying goes... Some people like Tokico over Eibach, and vice versa. As for the price, I'm not exactly sure on that one. You'd have to ask "the one who knows". Once again, MY $0.02 worth!!

uhh.. tokico and eibach go together.. tokico is the strut and eibach is the spring that goes with it. Its a popular combo, probably run you around 500, unless you can find a better deal. im gonna do this combo this summer when i get sum mooooonnnay!!! anyways, yes your car definitly need that drop, other then that decent rims. i like.

Definitely shop around. Check www.importhookup.com They have discount codes for such places as JC Whitney and Carparts.com. Both of which carry suspension components for our cars. Try to get the best deal possible by using the codes, you get a HUGE discount if you know how to order things and use the codes to the best of your advantage. For example, don't place the whole order at the same time, split things up and place seperate orders using the codes each time, and you should get a bigger discount. But remember to delete the cookie from your hard drive because that is how they know if you have used the code or not. Happy Shopping!

Rims are cool...I agree that lowering is in order. Also, with those red centers you should paint your calipers red too, that would look good. (I think so anyway.)

If you can't lower it, put the stocks back on.

Why are the tires so small? I got my 225/55ZR16 yokos last week and paid no more than $450 including shipping. Lower the car and you had better put a chalkboard on your dashboard because you are gonna have to write down your speed because you speedo is gonna LIE to you Good luck man, rims are nice...They will look hot with the body kit so dont wait any longer.
