Wheels and Drop

I put my new wheels and my suspension today. What a difference!!!

Wheels are Konig Feather 10 17x7.5 and 17lbs!!

Suspension is Eibach Pro-Kit and Ingals camber bolts for proper alignment.

It's been hard choosing the right wheels but i think I made a good choice.

I'm not a pro at taking pictures...

Here are some picts:

nice! thanks, that just made my decision easy. Very nice choice. And, yeah, black rims need constant tire dressing.

Rear camber is -1.25 without any camber kit. Si 08. In the front I was'nt able to get lower that - 1.35 of negative camber. My goal was -1.5. This is with one pair of ingall bolt.

I'll be honest, I'm wasn't a big fan of black rims on black car, or even multi-spoke wheels...

..until now. For some reason your car is lookin ill...

nice ride... how much did you pay for the package?

So you have ingall bolt for both front and rear? Where did you get them?

The Ride? It's hard to compare cuz I was on the soft snow 16" tires since I own the car. So, it's more hard on the back for sure... especialy pothole.

Those who say that the ride is " as stock " , i'm not sure.

But, and this is a big but, with a proper alingment, the handling is .

Can't wait to go on the track!

Thanks for making my decision. I have been going back and forth over which color to choose. Black it is.
