  • New wheels on today! need some advice~

    got the new wheels on today!~
    18s with dish are probably not big enough but didn't really want to spend money on new tyres yet.. i am pretty happy with the look.

    yes i will need to lower it...........
    should i go for springs or coilovers?
    labour for springs are like 500 bucks..
    coilover will be about half as it's much easier to just swap.. can anyone recommend good ones?

    I won't really go on the tracks so don't think I need like KW V3 or Bilstein...

















    with wheel caps on...... makes so much difference...!

    Wheels look good mate.
    KW V1s, FKs and Weitecs can be sourced for less than 2k.

      Springs vs Coils. first and obvious thing would be how much do you want to lower it?

          Go coilovers. Springs are cheap. Don't bring down a great car!

                I think I'll go for ST coilovers..... same manufaturer as KW and it's Made in Germany.. for under $1K shipped to Australia...

                Anyone's got those on?
