thats it for now. the fronts have some kind of jdm camber plates i bought from my friend. theyre red in color, i forgot to take a pic of it. o well, maybe next time. im also thinking of maybe raising the car up a bit, because theres excessive tire rubbing right now and its pretty annoying.

bad news though, the front springs make noise like theyre being twisted whenever i turn my wheel. :bash: :cry: we'll try to figure out what it is tomorrow, so wish me luck. if anyone has encountered this problem before, any help would be appreciated as well. thanks... :D

wow i didnt realize photobucket f***s up your pics really bad! wtf! i resized them to 640x480 before uploading them too. :wtf:

Looks much better like this. You should take it off for real.

[Got Sileighty?]

well i didnt really post for the wheels cuz ive had them for like a year now. but anyway, ask and u shall receive:

tomei sports wheels 16x7 front, 16x8 back. +29 offset all around.
tires are falken azenis st-115s, 205/55 front and 225/50 in the back.

salty, id like to take front license plate off, but then id prolly get pulled over for it. stupid law! :smash:

[tew photy]

i've never had the plate in the front. i just stick wedge it between the dash and the windshield, never had a problem.

[Ivan]

where is it that you're rubbing? in the lip thats inside the fenderwell or on the fender itself?

[Got Sileighty?]

ivan: not really sure where, since ive only had it for a week. my friend and i will inspect it more closely either tomorrow or tuesday while we try to fix the spring problem.

tew photy, i know people who do that and have gotten tickets for it. the plate has to be on the front bumper somewhere.

[Legacy]

Your car is pretty similar looking to mine. I love it. Nice job. =)

[Teerawood]

pull your fenders.

[future240owner]

what kind of springs were you running before the tein basics?

[TheTimanator]

pull your fenders.
He doesn't need to pull his fenders. :rolleyes: Maybe you meant roll the fenders? He shouldn't need to pull them with those offsets and tires.

[tew photy]

if youre rubbing in the front, you can remove those fender liners too, that gives you a bunch more clearance

[NismoSilvia270R]

what did the Basics replace, stock suspension?
if so it rode pretty low. my coupe sits like a truck

[Andrew Bohan]

i want those wheels. where and how much?

[Got Sileighty?]

yea they replaced stock suspension. everyone thought ive always been on lowering springs though cuz it already looked low.

i dont wanna take out fender liner because of the now infamous wiring-harness-getting-chewed-out-by-tires problem. so i think ill just raise it up a bit.

i got lucky finding these wheels from jspec. i saw another set for sale on ebay a couple of months ago, i think they were +35 offset though.

edit: hey legacy, stop jocking my car! hahahahaha jk :coold:

You should be bale to tuck the harness somehwere up in there.... I'll be doing that this weekend cuz my fender liner rubs with factory ride hieght....

[Twinkie]

How do the Tein Basics ride besides the fender rubbing? nice and smooth? I was planning to get that in the future.

[Got Sileighty?]

other than fender rubbing and the spring loading noise? it rides quite nice. i notice a huge difference when i make some decently fast turns. theres like no body roll, or at least i havent taken a turn fast enough to feel it yet.

[TokyoNights]

Is that aS low as they could go,or you can go even lower?

[Got Sileighty?]

no it can go even lower, but i wouldnt wanna be riding that low hehehe

[smellslikecurry]

how much did they cost you?
