im trying man lol.... Think I have the specs I want after doing a lot of calculating. Going with 18x9 +22 (it'll still push the wheels 2mm out from what I have now and only about 8mm in more, so I'll have room) , 18x10 +22 or +24 (it'll push the rears out about 9mm more to give it a more flush look). I can't wait to see how ccws look on my car too lol

Ok guys what color calipers should I get for the stoptechs? I'm thinking gold with normal slotted rotors cause the zinc would look like too much gold. Think it'll look good behind the CCWs classics, going fully polished on the wheels.
But I do like these bronze classics...hmmmm bronze or fully polished.

white and whiter
bronze, blue, and regular slotted rotors.
if you don't drive in snow there's really no reason for zinc rotors. you will wear out the rotors before they rust away.

hmmm so many choices. I really like the fully polished. I might get tired of bronze wheels. Looking at the classics now, I'm starting to grow fond of the race version over the street. Think I'm going to get the race version like the Miatas above.
Think I'll go bronze, gold calipers, regular slotted rotors and get gold lug nuts when I do my stud conversion.

Hahah yeah don't want to overdo the gold.
I'm looking into getting coils for my car, or springs if they are good enough;
I read somewhere here you had the Tien coils or something, what would you suggest
I just want to close the gap between my tires and car

Out Of Control!!
Trust me, I have bronze winter rims, and the gold calipers are too damn close in color.
I'd do the CCWs in bronze, the slotted rotors, and the blue calipers - nice contrast. Don't worry - I won't bill you for the consulting fee.

If you don't plan on adjusting your height I say go with H&R + Koni yellows or go with H&R cup kit both are good setups. If you want to adjust and on a budget get tein basics or H&R coilovers both give good ride quality without too stiff of a ride. .

got the coilovers in and snapped some shots of them. Quality is top notch! Kit even comes with new links for the front. The BC racing decal is an emblem instead of a sticker.
Zippy ties, washers, links, spanners!
Everything. Soooo NICE
Rear coil, comes with upper rubber washer and then a thick rubber lower washer.
Install will happen tomorrow
