so i got a killer deal on craigslist saturday at an amazing price!
managed to pick up a set of 18inch 5zigen FN1OR-C rims in gunmetal gray wrapped up in two brand new toyo proxes4's on the front (still has nubs) and the back tires are some older nankings, dont remember the model off the top of my head, but it has the same tread pattern and rating as the ns-2, with about 5k miles (around 90% tread left)
anyway, i got them dirt cheap, so cheap im embarrased to even toll you guys for the sake of the sellers dignity
the only defect is that the rims are a little old and the paint is starting to chip off, so i'm going to go back and do a respray in a couple weeks.
i didnt get the chance to throw the new wheels on yesterday or saturday night, but im going over to my buddies this evening to use his garage and throw them on hella faster than i can with my tools. So i'll post some pics later tonight.
anyway, with the spirit of new rims sporting some beautiful tread pattern and aggression i want to clear up the problem of my attrocious wheel gap. i've been looking at the eibach sportline springs, because i'm in a bit of a budget being that i start college in fall (and want to do some more motor work. ;]
so my question is where do you think i should go, i like slammed cars, i LOVE slammed cars. i live in rochester ny, so you guys may have heard of RocDub's and i'm mad jealous of all the airbags at the roclife meets. now the two issues i see in front of me are cost, and practicality. being that i live in rochester new york, we have some of the harshest and most bipolor winters, and this is my daily driver year round so i need that considered which draws me to coilovers. but i cant really afford to spend more than 4-500 dollars total.
so the things i've come accross that i like are the eiback prokit and sportline, i favor the drop of the sportline though but needing to get me through winter i dont want to turn my car into a snow plow. and i dont really want to spend the money on higher end coilovers.. so the options i see aside from springs alone, plus possibly sway bar, is either a form&function coilover kit, which i know very little about, and stretches my budget, so i dont want to get it unless it is very much worth it, or the other thing i've come across, the ground controll coilover kit. i'm also not really familiar with coilover sleeves so i'm looking for some oppinions here.
eibach sportline, cheap coilovers, ground control sleeves, or do a slight drop with the prokit, when i really want it slammed.
