His thread title is deceiving. He doesn't have the springs yet... And yes it is really high.

Good lord thank you for pointing this out. I open a thread and just think "BRING ON THE PICTURES". I was gonna play nice and not mention his obscenely high ride height despite being on eibach's.

Car looks awesome! I can't wait to see it lowered now.

I love the wheels and tire sizes! Great job! Can't wait to see it when its lowered.

Yeah, basically this. With the staggered height, the percentage is as close as i could get to be the same....

Sorry bout the title, i guess it is a bit misleading, i have not lowered it yet, will be putting the springs on this weekend. I have considered doing a red lug nut for color/contrast. Just dont like the chrome look. So either black or red.

the pics look like you actually GAINED some clearance from this setup

Looks good.. cant wait to see it dropped!

gdrider77 · 11-28-2012, 08:12 PM

Here is a quick image showing the lug options. Basically the chrome i have now, black and red....thinking i like the red., just not sure.

Jayde · 11-28-2012, 08:15 PM

Black, imo.

JoeBoxer · 11-28-2012, 08:24 PM

Can't go wrong either way, i like that the red would would go with the stiching in the interior, lug nuts are cheap though buy a couple sets and see which you like best.

Draco_PR23 · 11-28-2012, 09:25 PM

Looks good!!! I'm planning to get the same wheels for my Raven FRS and this just made my choice easier ... thanks for the pics!

In my opinion red lugs looks better and have a better contrast.

Captain Insano · 11-28-2012, 10:32 PM

OMG… nice job on this. I cant wait to see it lowered on those springs. I personally think the black lugs look great.

Foobar · 11-28-2012, 10:59 PM

I'm not usually a fan of black wheels, but I have to admit - these look good.

CircuitJerk · 11-28-2012, 11:00 PM

Looks pretty stretched to me. It has it's advantages but for me, I need more meat to protrude beyond the rim. I have the attention span of a gnat sometimes and I'm always hugging the curb when I park. Only a matter of time before I'd rash em. LOL
Looks like it's going to be perfect or really close with the sportlines.

mugen79 · 11-28-2012, 11:30 PM

Looks awesome

ScionFR-S · 11-29-2012, 11:35 AM

these look awesome my man ! im going to put these on my Raven FR-S in March or so same set up and thinking about dropping the car an inch with springs... keep us updated on if you need to camber the car... where could i get camber plates that would fit this car? or do they have it at the body shops and such ? and the black or red lugs look would look awesome, if you like to match then get the red to go with the interior it looks way more aggressive. where are you getting the lugs from? what size ?
