i think im gonna get coils first and stay on my fd2 rims.. then keep looking round for rimsss lol

im gonna get tires today or tommorrow, for my new rims.

ill put my two front wheels (18x8 +35) on one side of my car and show you how they fit.

but yes... you will be more happy with coils first then to boat around on rims. a slammed fd2 on stockies is hot.

p.s. i might be selling my n+ soon

im not gonna bother recommending to you whats good and whats not for coilovers.. heh
each to their own i suppose, but you know my view lol. you have been around long enuf to have seen the posts and others posts...

and Al, i dunno how much yet. prob not even half of what i paid for it. ill let you know tho.

depends on what you want from ur coilovers and that it suits ur style of driving (agressive or comfort) and the road environment conditions (smooth clean road surface to potholed cracked roads).

IMO get N+ if your going track, Cusco for track and street performance, Tanabe for purely street performance (can ocassionally track)... T1R may be similar to N+ but i aint too sure about that

ekdez luvs da buddyclubs (they are a good reputable brand no doubt) and me and ej20i have on the tanabes and we both luv it

i do recommend ppl in getting Cusco GT if they want alittle bit of both track and street from research and reviews but havent personal heard feedbacks about it on anyone whos tried it here.

sorry going off topic here.. back to wheels

will depend on offset and tyres..

btw, is it legal to run stretch tyres if the load rating is at the required level or above? is it possible to get a defect from them as they can be deemed less safe?

will depend on offset and tyres..

as long as it wont scrub the inner front fender or the rear fender..
how about 245/40/17 tires?
