Y33 Help, fitment, color, etc etc.... please!

PICS PLEASE!!!!
PICS PLEASE!!!!
PICS PLEASE!!!!







OK, i have a chance to get a smokin deal on a tan colored y33. I'm not quite sold on the color yet,

1. can anyone help with maybe some pics of a done-well tan y33?

2. i have a set of fabulous expands for it... the yare 19x10 -2, 19x9 -2.. I dont want to go Gang-rape camber style on it... will those fit with a rolled fender? if not, what size will without too much fender work. To be honest (& well educated) the crazy -12 degree camber isnt for me... i'll go -3 max... but i deff wanna fill out the fronts so i would liek to keep a nice low offset/wide wheel size up front

3. what options do i have for lowering it? well, there are cheap ways and expensive ways, (springs vs real coilovers) .. tell me what you run, how is the ride? rough? smooth? bumpy? SHOW ME PICS TOO!!

4. someone please post up a y33 with tein springs and 18s or 19s, i want to see if thatsthe look im trying to achieve... like i said, im not too crazy into the mega-nega camber and slammed look... somehwere in between that and stock would be nice





ALSO, reccomend a size for me.... basically, im looking to go for fitment like ....

i think Benji is on springs. I could be wrong though but I thought he was.

those offsets are fine. the rear might need a little camber, just a tad

I have 10.5 -8 in the rear and had to pull quite a bit.and have about -5 degrees of camber to make it fit...Benji has a 10-29 and has -7.3 degrees of camber..Dont see how you will fit those offsets without fender work..I guess it depends on how high you want to roll..the lower you roll the more work you will need for proper fitment.

BTW I love the tan Q's thats what I got and I love it..easier to keep clean..heres a picture of my car lowered on JIC Coilovers with a 19x9 +11 19x10.5 -8..22535,245/35 dunlops daily driven...slammed baby.

as far as suspension goes It depends on your budget and if you want adjustability. AIR seems to be what most US folks want these days allows you to have full acess at any time with your ride hieght..Springs are a set hieght and what you see is what you get..Seem like folks have found a pretty inexepenive way of lowering the y33 with s14 springs but I have heard the ride is not that great ..real bouncy...Tiens will get you pretty low and I know Benji is on Impuls springs that he has custom modiefied to be lower and has achieved a real nice ride hieght.....Coilovers still provide adjustability and the newer ones have a lot of damping settings to make the ride even more comfy..plus gives your car the most stability over all the other choices..this is a deff if you want to ride very low...so you dont bottom out..Coilovers arnt for everyone as theres is quite a few places that I dont even bother going to anymore when I am driving the Q...and sometime i have to park pretty far but hell its good excercise...

^^^ thanks a ton man, i want to roll just about where the white one i originally posted, a little bit higher in the rear.

is your car tan? or white? maybe its my comp but it looks more cremish!?!?! looks amazing either way.

i might get another set of wheels something like 19x10 +10, 19x8 +10... i would predict that the white car i posted above had about the just mentioned specs.

Also, i dont want to roll s14 springs because of the weight difference and the bouncy ride..i will consider the tein springs, i'd like ot see a pic of a y33 with teins and 19s or 18s...anyone?
