I like the GT7s, but if you can get it chromed or maybe silver polished it would look more vip. I like your stance. Great job bro.

both fk452
front fender stock, rear rolled... horribly but recently repainted and redone. i should have cut them. i think i iam going to run nankangs next summer though and might go up a size in the front and down a few in the rear so i can add spacers to the rear

Nice to see cars on the north east driving that low. Car looks good and will look even better with those wheels that you plan on getting. Only thing is, with aggressive fitment, you need to set your ride super stiff or you will crack the paint off of the fenders or even damage the lips of the wheels. So keep that in mind when you switch to lower offsets.

my jic was defective and blew within a month so i sent it back 4 a rebuild. this is what i told paul at jic: "i want a race type setup detuned to ride on the street. i want it to hurt when i hit a pothole. i want it so stiff that when i drive over normal road irregularities the wheels dont move up and down. only the car does. lets throw comfort and ride quailty out the window and focus on stiffness and handling" i sent it back like 4 months ago. still waiting. thwy said they were dealing with to may drift events and sema. we will see when i get it back. i also plan on getting many chassis braces(in addition to the ones i have) and suspension components from nagisa(camber/ traction rods) also i unfortunatly destroyed my carbing under brace so i neeed a new one of those! . i thought your air setup rode soft?

4 months ago! daym! Id be pissed waiting that long for a defective rebuild. they should atleast replaced it with a new set up. The AirRunners come with 4 settings for the shocks. I set mine on soft. I like it soft like a woman's breast feels.

My setup rides smooth. I do bang my front fenders on the wheels alot but I want some comfort so im not planning on going stiffer. I was originally going to go with coilovers but I was thinking long term/ fiberglass kit. As you know, new potholes come out of no where so I didnt want to take chances.

i tuck my wheels back and leave at least 1 finger gap in the front for my daily drive height. im not that good on going up ramps and getting off ramps. twice i already twisted my front fender....Once I set a nice ride height...I dont like to keep adjusting the air height. lol..im lazy. I dont want to cut the fender cause i dont want to weaken it. But about jic.... id threaten them about getting your money back cause that is just wrong.
