18" wheels ugly with stock springs (FD3S)?
Yo guys,
Anyone have 18" wheels with stock springs that they could post?
My current setup is tokicos with eibach on 18" wheels but the car is too low for the messed up streets here in Los Angeles.
I'm thinking about going back to stock suspension and springs but would like to see how the car looks first. Thanks!

Tasteful 18" wheels look good on stock height muscle car suspension. Those cars were made to sit up high and have that beefy aggressive, weight-transfer look IMO.
The FD however, is meant to be a low slung, fast looking sleek car. 18" plus stock suspension is not the best look for the FD in my opinion, no offense

Makes me want one too!Nice ride!
The headlights really give the car definition.... but back to topic - wheel gap wasn't as big as I thought. Very helpful, thanks. The shocks/springs so unfortunately I don't get the natural sag in this case.

LOL... how'd you know that was what I was going for??
Totally agree... hence I wanted to see some pics and what other forum members thought. I had my car for a week bone stock before I changed out suspension/wheels. I'm struggling whether I want to invest in coilovers 
Yes, that's the current dilemna right now. 
However, the car is a garage queen. I've only driven about ~5k miles in the last 5 years. Hard to justify the costs.
