Pics to follow shortly. I took a couple in the dark, but they don't do these wheels justice. I love the polished lips on these. as har as the sumi's go I took a quick trip to jersey in them for NY/NJ GTG and they held up very nicely. Ofcourse the mod bug has bitten me hard and the next thing that I'm gonna spend my loot on is probably gonna be H&R springs unless I get a really, really good deal on coilovers.

Default Don't waste time on springs get coilovers

There have been some for sale in Classifieds... I went the springs route first... got a set from the Classifieds, huge difference. Like a completely different car.

Default What do coilovers do differently than springs over shocks?

Actually isn't that what coilovers means. I realize that coilovers allow height adjustments but, if one is satisfied with the height and firmness of a replacement spring, what would be the benefit of coilovers? You may like the firmness of the particular springs and shock combo that make up your coilovers but, again, I can not see any inherent difference between the handling of coilovers vs springs and shocks.
