18x8/18x9.5 Kojin - Eibach Pro Kit
Just recent had a few mods installed on my car and wanted to share.
Eibach Pro-Kit springs (~1” drop all around) – Installed and aligned by @AJWPerformance in Gilford, NH. Great shop and awesome group of guys (and gal) up there! http://ajwperformanceproducts.com/ (they also installed a Tomei UEL header, Tomei overpipe, and shifter for me) Enkei Kojin Wheel and Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires 18x8 (225) Front – Flat face 18x9.5 (255) Rear - Concave No Rubbing, big improvement in handling (tires only have about 30 miles on them, so more grip to come) and the ride is a bit stiffer with the springs and lower profile tires. I really love the look of the car now. I am torn on the chrome lugs (came standard with a package from TireRack), I like them sometimes and then others, wish they were black. Highly recommend this package, even the big rear wheel and tire setup felt about the same weight as stock in my hands. Can be had for ~$1400-1500 shipped! Side skirt/Lip/Fender Fin are all cheap eBay pieces. I love them, fit great…no complaints (this is an opening for the haters!). May re-do them in a gloss black, rather than the graphite they come in. Future plans for the car? Antenna delete and maybe wrap the roof in gloss black. Valenti Dark tails are en route to my place as we speak. And like everyone else on the board, hope to be FI someday, but the header and OFT really woke up the car. Here are the pictures: Last edited by Timmy_Jones; 09-02-2015 at 10:38 AM. |

^ Looks clean, bro. I'm thinking of the same thing. 1" drop with 18x8/18x9.5 wheels (not sure what yet). How much for all the body kits you got?

+45 on both wheels.
Tires are 40 in the front and 35 in the rear (I believe) |

Love that super concave rear wheel. Wish my 17x9 Kojins were that concave.

Any shots from the side? Curious about the 1" drop ride height. Why didn't you go with a typical 265 on the 9.5"?

Very nice! I think the aero stuff looks pretty dang clean - a little subtle, but still noticeable.
I love the Kojin's on this car. What is the offset on the rear? +45? What about the tire sizes? 255/35/18? |
