The time has finally come... mods
My friday is shaping up real nice, Nitto Invo's arrived today.
Here's my mod list, in picture form:
275s and 245s up front
H&R Sport (not super sport)
20" wheels from efx1 (these were on his car about 5-6 hundred sets ago )
Going to be almost 70* here in Jersey and I can't see a better way to celebrate than getting the car worked on and looking exactly how I want! I'll post end results in here!

I'd love to tackle this, but I'm real busy with work, so I'm taking it to my friends over at Car Toyz, they'll be in and out with the car faster than I could shake a pry bar at it lol
First major mod, in my life, that I'm not taking care of, but I'd rather it done right than me screwing up something on such a nice car too.
Should have some pics to post by tomorrow afternoon, really can't wait! I don't think I've ever disliked 17" wheels so much in my life. Even worse when I see 5-10 C's (one lives down the street from me) a day driving around with stock wheels, so it's time to stand out.

Wow. Those rims are EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!! Are these oem, aftermarket. Also, how much do they run? Any chance of getting them smaller than 20's (as in 18 or 19)?

First- my man Terry took care of the springs and wheels and did it all in about 5-6 hours worth of work. Everything fit great and these H&R's ride better than stock imo. I'm AMAZED at how smooth this car rides, even with 1" drop. I couldn't be happier with these results. And the car look's AMAZING with the 20s!
ok ok-
Here's a shot of the car this morning- for reference:
The moment you've all been waiting for
(iPhone 4 pics, I know- I'll work on some better ones soon)
So- what do you think? I know I love it and I think this is exactly what I had in mind for the C, and I've achieved the exact look I wanted!!
Thanks again for efx1 for the whees and everyone else I found parts from.

Looks mean and really awesome! How is the ride quality with the 20s and the H&Rs? And with wheels that big does your car feel any slower?
I had 20s on a 2000 911 and it felt a bit slower compared to stock...

Thanks! I will have to get a new pic soon, and change the mod list even
Thank you! I'm down! That'd be fun for sure. I may give my friend a call and see if I can get some photos done soon. Always wanted to have something more than the standard.
The ride quality is nearly stock. It's just a tad stiff on whoops and hard bumps, but other than that, smooth surface riding is impeccable! I don't notice any loss in acceleration, I had that sensation as well, but the car definitely scoots as well as it did.
Thanks much! My kind of cleaning schedule
Couldn't have done it without you! All those PMs back and forth finally made me get the tires! Thanks again bud!!
Thanks for all the kind words! I got a bunch of compliments tonight when I went out with the lady, and she liked them a lot as well. Win win!
