2nd Gen Wheel/Suspension Mods
 
Anyone care to show off some photos of their modifications to their wheel and/or suspension setup? Looking for some examples to help myself along the same path and would love to see what some of you have done, and what the results look like.

KYB AGX shocks with Tanabe springs. Wheels are old Advans (TC3 maybe? Doesn't really matter since they're probably fake anyways) 17x7.5. 225/45R17.

Overall I like it a lot. It could go a bit lower to tuck the tire slightly, but when standing (this photo was taken seated in another car) the wheel gap isn't apparent. Required a slight fender roll in the front, and going to wider tires would require coilovers in the front for inner clearance.

16x7 Liquid Metal "Static" wheels with +38 offset running 215/50r16 tires. 4 lug, with counter bore 60.1mm and no adapter rings. . . . . . . KYB AGX's all the way around with really old Suspension Techniques springs down 1". . . I like the setup but tire selection is extremely limited. There is literally 1 tire available in this size that you can buy new. .. .. OEM tire size for this model was 185/70r14 , 4 lug, with O.D. 24.2" . . . .215/50r16's have a 24.5" outer diameter. No modifications were done to the fenders and it never rubs or bottoms out.
