Cool Lowered and New Shoes! *PIC'S*

Just lowered my ride and put on some new shoes! Installed new upper mounts and H&R springs (temporarily) until I decide on a set of coilovers in the near future. I purchased these HRE 843's from our fellow 6-speeder OAK. It was a pleasure doing business with him and the wheels and tires (Yokohama AVS Sport) were EXACTLY as he described them. The wheels have brushed finished centers, black anodized inner barrels, polished lips, and R. Boothe center caps. These wheels are cherry! Took some quick photo's today to share. Hope you guys like it!

Georgous setup. I'd love to hear your early impressions on the ride.

hey alex, your car lookin sweet! I hated to sell that set, pics really don't do justice to those wheels for some reason. they look sooo much better in person.

it was a pleasure doing business with you, enjoy your turbo!

Thanks guys! Wayne is right... they do look better in person. I took the Turbo out all weekend and turned a lot of heads. Got a few "sweet ride" comments too!
D. Mac- My first impressions are what I expected. The ride is slightly harder (which I like) due to the increase in wheel diameter. The tires are night and day difference when I compare them to the P-Zero's I had before. These Yoko's really grab. As for the springs, they are good for now. Slightly "springy" feeling, but much less than I thought it would be. I do feel more comfortable at high speed maneuvers due to the lower center of gravity. All together, it's my opinion this setup is a step ahead of stock and I've almost found what I'm looking for.
