I finally finished installing all of my new stuff. What's installed is some BMR Lowering springs, BMR PHR, BMR LCAs & Brackets, SFC(to be installed), LS1 front brakes, 4 18x9.5 C5 Fat Spokes(295/35/18-rear, 265/35/18-front).

I have never been a fan of those rims but alot of people like them. I think polished or chrome would have been better. The car has a very smooth clean look to it. But IMO it's just to subdued. To bland. The clear corners are great but the car is just missing some spice, a kick of some sort. In the rear view you will see something black speeding your way but won't know what it is till it passes....If that is what you wanted then you hit the mark for sure.

I do like the springs, lowered it some but not to much, how much did it actually go down?

 

damn that is one of the smoothest looking cars i've seen in a LONG time



well done

i'm planning on the bmr springs...what was the actual drop?

 

Thanks for the compliments. As for the chrome or polish, eh I really dislike both. Too flashy IMO. I just want a black car that doesn't stick out.

As for the springs. I'm not sure how much they dropped my car. I never did measure before and after the install.

 

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but your front wheels look to be a larger diameter than the rear wheels? I know the tires are a different size but the WHEELS look to be different too? Maybe I just need some sleep

Looks nice!

 

Nice car! Different wheels would compliment that ride a lot though!

 

Looks awesome

 

i thought the exact same thing

 

Looks great keep on moddin, oh you should get that prototype bodykit on there next! J/K it looks good.

 

I believe it's because of the angle the picture was taken. It makes the front wheel look a little bigger than the back. But, they're the same size.

As for changing my wheels, uh nope. I like these wheels which is why I bought them. There's not many other wheels out there that I like.

 

Yea, they're not bad. I guess the center of them just looks "fake"

 

What do you mean?? I want to remove the corvette crossflags on the center caps, so I'm open to other ideas. I may just end up filling the area in and repainting them.

 

He might be talking about the fake plastic centercaps.

That's the reason I don't use the centercaps. Looks way better without them.

 

Yeah, but then I have to deal with the ugly *** hub. I'll see what I can figure out.

 

NOT MY CAR:

This is what those wheels look like without the centercaps:
