I went to HIN at Belmont today with some friends. I got the mod bug bad....

I saw alot of cars with anthracite or a gun metal wheel. I am wondering what you guys woudl think of that type of color on stock pie plate wheels. I am thinking about doing it ot my 4.2's wheels and would like to hear any and all opinions.
Thanks for the help and the encouraging comments on the other threads.

I'd say try to get the car lowered, before you worry about the wheels.

Is it necessary to change shocks when changing the springs. Thanks

You seem to be always there when I have a question. Thanks for all the help.

You don't have to change the shocks, but it is highly recommended.

From what I have been told, stock (non-Sport) shocks will wear out much faster if you use them with lowering springs. The price for most shocks isn't too bad, so you might as well just save up a lil more money for them
