Be leary of super cheap ebay parts. They'll counterfit parts and pass them off as a name brand. And sometimes its impossible to tell from looking at them. Parts often have to be dissasembled to tell if they're genuine or not.

EDIT: I am NOT saying if that is the case with the seller mentioned above. I haven't even looked at that auction.

Those are KYB Gas-A-Just (non adjustable) struts. approx $60 each from Importedcarparts.com

The ST springs are 180 for the set from Shox.com

Those 15's might be for sale soon...

or at least make the hood shine, maybe some clear would solve that, the rest of the car is shiny, make it so, and only 225's, whats wrong with you, 255's all the way.

thanks for the compliments.
I am not going to bother with this paint. It is too far gone. Only the passenger fender and door are shiny because they were re-painted by a different shop at one point. That's why I take pics from that corner.

I'll get to working on the body after the turbo swap this month.

ya, I was even thinking of going staggered since the back has so much room. That wheel is available in 18x9 too but 245/35/18 tires actually double in price and I was already at my wallet's limit. 225/40/18 is a very common size and cheap. Plus, I don't want tire bulge. These tires set square on the wheels
If you haven't already, check out my car in the Z-Garage for bigger pics or my website.

Wow... I'm totally intimidated. I've only got 16"s on mine... I hope I don't **** you off in a dark alley some day... I'd hate for my little 16"s to get beat-up...

Of course, you'd have to catch me first...
