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

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.
