No i wish its an auto but for the deal i got i couldn't pass it up.
Bought it from a friend who just replaced all the seals and gaskets and has ice cold ac and leather for 1,500. Thought it was a pretty good deal, but i plan on making it a stick in the future.

James92se, What springs do you have on your car and what offset are your wheels?

Intrax springs, don't know if you can get them anymore. I got them 12-13 years ago. Not sure what the offset is. They're SportMax (now known as XXR) 962's but I have 22 mm spacers on them

Ok i was looking at a set of Dropzone springs that lower the car 2" all the way around but havent decided yet. And yea i was asking because i saw those wheels on ebay from xxr like you said. I like the way it sits on those wheels. So they dont stick out past the fenders at all with the spacers? You have any other pics of the car with the wheels on it?

I had to roll the rear fenders. The fronts, how do I say this.. they sort of... self rolled themselves after a few bumps

Here's the setup on my old VE:

They look good, I could of swore your car was blue by your sig pic. Was it hard to roll the fenders, what size tire are you running, Sorry for all the questions, been contiplating wheel options for a few weeks now.

The car in my sig is blue. I have two VE's. All the stuff from the black one in that picture/video is on my blue one now.

Tires are 225/40/18's, though most people here would tell you to go with 235's.

On the black one in the picture/video above I just gently hammered the rear fender lip flat. On the blue one I decided to do it the "right" way so I just bought an Eastwood roller and sold it after I was done.

O Ok. Do the 18's bottom out or hit when you do a wide turn with the lowering springs? How much can i pick up a roller for?

the Eastwood fender roller is $250 right now, though sometimes it goes on sale or they offer deals (free shipping, a % off orders over a certain amount, etc)

I got mine a few years ago for around 215ish, nice tool, I still have it

James will have to answer regarding his setup, but with my 245s on the 17x8 cobra wheels lowered on eibach springs, I get some rubbing in the front if I take a turn too hard or hit a bump or a warp in the pavement. Rear has been no problem ever since I rolled in the fender
