I've had my car for about 3 months now, and just wanted to share some quick phone pics of my car as she looks right now. Except for a little overheating at the track, I've enjoyed every minute of ownership.

Wheels/Tires:
Forgestar CF10 Satin Black, 19x8.5 et45, 19x10 et52
Nitto NT05 235/35/19, 275/30/19
I love, love, love these tires, they hook up so well from a dig, and are much more stickier than the stock Continentals. They're nice and beefy looking too, with a good looking sidewall.

Suspension:
H&R Springs, stock 13mm spring pads. I had a set of 17mm pads ready, but opted to go with the stock pads last minute after seeing pics of other coupes with H&R drop. I don't think the coupes need the extra 4mm as much as the sedans do, as the drop looks pretty even to me. No rubbing, even with full load.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice I've received since purchasing the car!

Looks good! Now tint and wrap that chrome hahha

deanmc

Thanks vaclavsv! I've been meaning to do that, but the chrome is starting to grow on me!

Have you had the springs on for a while now? They're settled in and still no rubbing? I've been suspicious that I couldn't do a drop after putting on my new wheels, but looking at your setup I'm thinking I might be able to pull it off.

Looking great. I was thinking that the 17mm rear spring pads would be a must, but maybe the coupes don't need it.

I will be installing the H&R's next weekend on my 12' Coupe.

Rob, the coupe looks good w/o the 17mm pads.

I've had them for over a week now, and with the offsets/width I'm running, there's absolutely no rubbing.

Thanks Overated, I PM'd you back. There's a few other pics of coupes without the thicker pads, and they all look like mine. I think it's a personal choice, but I'm returning the pads this week.

Thanks RW Carbon!

Hahahah Niiick! What's up brotha, I didn't catch you leaving the meet last Wednesday. Thanks for the awesome work and for taking care of my car.

Big props to Nick and the team at Supreme Power in Placentia, CA for always treating my car like it's their own. HUGE and clean garage, best price I could find, and excellent customer service. Really can't ask for more. Thanks again Nick!

Thanks Roswell, your sedan looks awesome with the pads lol!

very nice car and photos

4 mm is so friggin small. I've always wondered how the 17 vs. 13mm thing would really show up on a car, not sure I could see it. But I guess it could help with rubbing if that was an issue.

Looking great man!!!

Looks great! Where did you get the wheels? I am looking for a set as well.

Thanks!!
