Wheels/Springs Installed
Finally got my wheels and springs installed. Here's the set up:

Gun Metal VMR v718
18x8.5 et 45
H&R Super Sports
Continental Xtreme Contact DW 235/35/18
All front and side chrome blacked out with gloss black/matte black vinyl

Here are some pics. All taken with my phone and the car is dirty. I'm happy with the outcome. Still need to black out the back end.

Looks good bro. I like what you did w/ the eyebrows. You should think about painting inside your headlights.

Weird, seems your sits higher than mine even after I first installed it, considering you have a lower profile tire than I do you should be tucking more.

Looks great! Nice work.

How's the ride & handling difference?

Any coil spacer-disc changes?

Yea I am hoping the springs settle a little lower as I'd like a little more tuck.

Thanks. Ride is definately stiffer, compared to stock, but not annoying or anything. Handling is tighter, feels more flat in the curves. No spacers or anything added.
