Recently we had a customer come in and asked us to help him find a perfect set of wheels and possibly help him figure out what and how to lower his car. So we went ahead and got our customer a set of 22inch ADV.1 Trackspec . Once we figured out the wheels we went ahead and researched what we can do to keep the car lower. We went ahead and installed hydraulic suspension height adjusters which gave our customer the look he was looking for.

Enough talk, more pictures!

There is no "air ride" in these cars.

Please delete the whole thread, get the terms right and post again. I really like the wheel fittment on the car albeit being a little too low for my taste

ride looks great..IMO great choice with the wheels...except for the god awful looking calipers and rotor hubs...should have advised your client to get those painted...

$7-9k of wheels sitting over rusted out parts?
