for basic day to day use, nexen n5000's are fine... those are what I run, and i drive delivery with them running all over town... i have also run them on my car from april 2008- nov 2008 then april 2009 on with snows from nov 2008 - april 2009, putting around 500 miles/week on them(oil change at 3k approx every 6 weeks), with approx 70% left at this point

Nice pics!..I just order a silver S HB...Im a noob so sorry, but...Quick question...Im gonna mod my car no doubt, but still "shopping around" as far as set-ups go...

You worry about your ride too low with the 17's and DF210's or does it have some room to breathe? I couldn't really tell, but you got a low exhaust to worry about also? This is very similar to what I was thinking of doing, but the last thing I want is to have to take a hour to roll over bumps..ha:biggrin:

Anyways..nice car!

There is still a good amount of room in the rear as far as up and down travel goes, I can still go over speed bumps without having to come to an idle but then again I dont like going over speed bumps etc very fast anyways.

Good to know...thanks...I wouldn't be flying over bumps either, but we have crappy roads here in Hawaii!..some roads have unintentional ones..ha :thumbsup:

good choice on the tires. nexens 3000 or 5000 are very reliable..cheap too.

The tits? not too sure on the word choice but the spikes...arrows even are "vortex generators" which is an over the top name but theyre mostly for aesthetics.


Kaotic Lazagna has some on his sedan and they work out pretty well for looks.

It's an opinion though and so far most people like them..some dont. it is what it is.
