Very sweet looking, what size are your rims and tires? Planning on lowering it more? or that 1.5 inch your first time?

I would like something that I can lower it for like street driving showing off but on my way to work the road is crappy dont want to sit too low and and have the tires scrape. Now if they can be adjusted to raise and lower im in. Whats the price difference?

If you want adjustable, then you need to get coilovers.The tires won't scrape, even with the Teins. I have the Teins on my car and my tires are 225 with a +40mm offset on the wheel, and I have yet to ever scrape a tire. With the Teins on, there is still alot of room in those huge fenders.Like Nick said, any drop you do will make the car look even better than it already does...and it does look really nice with those wheels!What size tire did you end up with?

You can get either Skunk2's or Ground Control coilovers for anywhere from $350-$500, but I don't know much about coilovers. For these prices, why would anyone buy the TRD and/or Tein coilover kits for well over $1k? Do they come with shocks or something?

Wow...I thought those rims were 17x7. Looks good, though.I see why you might be concerned about rubbing, but 10mm is about 0.5"...which means maybe an extra 0.25" on the inside. Looking at my car, I think that there would be no problem with the extra width using the Teins.I think maybe it's time to call in MadBill for his advice.
