    The springs are H&R. Agreed about the rear ride height. I'm going to cut a coil and see if it's a better match to the front.

        What are the specs on the gold wheels, are they reps?

                    I've seen one with a clip down cup holder there, looked just like that when it was taken off.

                        The rear is really bad like others have said, please raise it back up with proper springs otherwise you will have ripped CV boots pretty soon and you will need new axles if you keep driving without grease in them.
                        Really nice car. PO- what an idiot.
                        How much did you pay for the MHWs? Just wondering.

                          He already did! Now its a little too high. Once it all gets fixed, the car will look proper. Not a fan of black wheels, but at least these ones still have a polished lip. Keep it up, you're moving in the right direction OP

                            Installed the mhws.




                            And also got a good deal on some ESM wheels and some new Yokohama tires. They're 16x9 +10 in the front and +10 in the rear with a 10mm spacer. Tires are 205/45.
