finally drop my car with some tein basic dampers and painted my rims gunmetal.

Looks pretty good.

Looking at that last pic though, I can't help but wonder to myself, "did he remove the wheel weight before painting the wheels, or did he just paint over them."

should have painted ur caliber gunmetal too

i took off the wheels and painted them here is a before and after picture.

coilovers? (sry for my noob question on suspension)


how much?

The 2g rims are a work of art

Hey, I like the wheels look great! How do you like the Tein Suspension though, is it worth the money? Myself also being FWD am in need of something to help with traction.

pretty much a coilover/shock combo. Tuned to work together, they are pretty sweet.

I think they run about $750 for the tein basics.

the basics are only height adjustable so it aint gonna really help u for traction u would need the Super Street they are 16 way adjustable

i got the tein basic for 700 free shipping and i like it. improved alot compared to stock. i give it a

I think 16 way is overkill for street applications...I'm running Tokico Illuminas and Springs, 5 way is good enough for me (3 all the way around right now).

i have the 16 way, yeah they probably are overkill, but if you want to fine tune your handling, it makes it nice, i have mine set pretty stiff... maybe thats why my back has been hurting lately? ..i dont mess with mine too much though, here and there i'll adjust them, soft in the winter, hard in the summer is how i go, i also raise it up in the fall and drop it back down after winter's over... btw, awesome job on the wheels... paint your calipers silver or black or something and it will look really nice... what did you use to clean your old paint off with?

clean..

i miss the stock chromes on my old 98 GS-T.. i actually liked em.. wouldnt mind having a set just cause.. on the GSX..

how much do the stock rims weigh? pretty heavy i would suspect?

yes, they are pretty heavy. i thought it wasnt gonna be that heavy, but i guess wrong.
