I am planning on getting one of these within the week for my 98. I was just wondering would it look stupid or whatever without lowering the car first or without rims. I don't know what to do first lower the car or get the kit, any suggestions? I am worried it will look kind of dumb with just the kit.. what do you guys think

 

Search, question has been asked plenty of times already.

And no, it won't look bad.

 

No, it will still look good. After you get the kit you should get nice rims and save the springs for last.
Good Luck,
Paul

 

Looks good .. Kind of 4x4ish, but still better than stock

 

You have to lower it first. Aftermarket rims can wait but the lowering has to be done before ground effects.

 

In my opinion it's the other way around. Stock rims make the car look really ugly and there is no point of lowering it if you are gonna have small ugly rims on your car.
Thanks,
Paul

 

depends which stock rims no? i love my stock 16 5 spokes and so do most people here, but im still upgrading.

anyway, ive seen a stillen kit max not lowered, in person. guy probably wasnt a "car guy" or a "max guy" since he had the orange bumper lens
but .. i thought it was laughable. kits and stock ride height is pretty ghetto to me. but it looks good i guess.
put it on , but make sure you lower soon!

 

Youre saying the SE 5 spoke rims are ugly? You'd be offending a lot of people on this board if you were. I have them, and I'm dropped with B+G/AGX, and it looks sweet, as good if not better than some other aftermarket rims out there.

 

yup im with you-
