well, as i posted in my other thread a couple weeks ago, i was looking to get some adr rivals in 16x7. 16's were really the biggest i wanted to go, but a friend hooked me up on some 17x7 tenzo-r passion 5. they arent the lightest wheels, infact, im not really happy about that, and i like i said, its bigger than what i wanted, but once i sat the rim on the car, i liked them. i just need to get some lug nuts to see how bad the wheel gap is. im going to put my eibach prokit springs on there to see how it looks. im not too worried about the wheel size or wieght though, im sure ill have plenty of power to turn them







im looking at gc coil overs in the front, and POSSIBLY the race springs from mazda trix with the dead coils in the rear to bring it down. i dont want to to be but so stiff in the rear though. i guess ill see what the eibachs do.

also, where is the best place to get the gc coil overs?

i am also looking for some 16's but it is a hard task. yeah the 17's look nice, but they'd be too big for my tastes.

Cody

i see a rusty drum! so no.

someone needs to upgrade the rearend to a GSL unit

Gregs

how could you miss that brake caliper in the back
there is no way in hell you would find those rims for the 4 on 110 bolt pattern

look harder, its a gs with gslse suspension on it

do you have more info on those rear coil overs? 42 each? thats insane, there has to be something else to it.



also, the rusty rotors.. well the car hasnt moved in god knows how long, it has a blown motor when i got it, and the suspension came off a junkyard car. ill take care of that once its running but right now.. egh.. im lazy
