Rims will be an upgrade further down the road. The handling alone is so much fun with the lower stance. The Tanabe DF210's are excellent and the Tokico Blues are also great. I drove back home on 880 which has some crappy patches of road and I had no issues gliding over them.

The handling is great! Firmer shocks/struts are nice.

Do you have a rear sway bar yet? You will definitely fell that difference.

Orlando's the bomb at Auto Innovations. Jaime is awesome and his Bayou Bleu Vitz :D

Is it a more bumpy ride w/ the Tokico struts/shocks? That price is really killing me to buy it next.

No sway bar yet, possibly in the future.

Yeah those two were awesome, just cool and down to earth guys. Jaime's Bayou Bleu Vitz is also amazing. The main thing I noticed with the Tokico's is the extra bounciness when going over slightly rougher patches on the highway. They are definitely a nice upgrade from the stock shocks/struts.
