Your car looks really good. Does it look better in person? I don't know why I don't 'get' the dark shoes.

Aggressive offsets! Looks really good, I don't know why no one has gotten silver CSLs yet.

Wow, without looking at the specs I would have thought those were 19" wheels.

Wheels look awesome, but too low of a drop. Throws off the lines of the car. IMO, which nobody listens to anyways.

Looks great...I am waiting on my Hyperblack VS8's (sometime in the next 6mos...good thing I am in Iraq and have time) but your pictures give me a great idea of what mine will look like since we have the same color(even though I got a bunch of performance parts). Your car was the first one I saved pics of as a desktop background...now I gotta new pic! Looks great buddy! How low did the HR's drop it? It does look to low in one of the pics but maybe it was the angle of the photo...

Well done. Aggressive yet refined.

couple of questions:
a) how much for the H&R coils
b) why did you get the offset you got, and not gotten a better offset to fit 255's in the rear?

thanks! I bought the coilovers from Gravity back in April when they were running a special. They were about the same price at KW V1s. The wheels are actually only offered in that offset. But honestly I wasn't interested in running 255s. I wanted it slightly stretched and very low so it doesn't rub. It is very close! You can't even fit your finger in the gap but no rubbing even under hard cornering. Camber is set at -2.0 in the rear with 0 toe. Contrary to popular belief toe is what wears tires incorrectly faster than neg camber.
