Default Submission for the photo contest.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/27803/bisai0302_4.jpg"></center><p>Hi everyone, and greetings from Japan.

I haven't posted too much here to date, but I've benefitted greatly from all the technical info that you all so graciously share. Thanks.

I just got my new wheels, tires, springs, shocks, and anti-roll bars installed this week, so decided to take some pics. I kinda liked this one with the buddhist temple in the background and reflection of the bamboo. Hope y'all like it too.

Default Mine are 8"..... and Thanks, by the way.

The pics you posted of your car are what made me want these wheels in the first place.

Default Not bad at all. I think the Eibach's and Bilstein's make all the difference...

I upgraded everything at the same time, and I'm really enjoying the ride and the handling improvement.

I was a little bit worried about going +2 on the wheels because the roads here are very uneven and rough. With the upgraded shocks and springs, though, almost all of the little annoying rattles I had before have actually gone away! I'm only at the 1-week point, though, so we'll see how it goes.

Default Love those reflections! Nice looking wheels. I am next with the same combo of shocks& springs.....

AND I am undecided on the wheels. What did you spend on the Bilsteins and Eibach combo?

Enjoy,

e!

Default Remember - I'm in Japan, so it's probably not a good comparison...

Eibach doesn't have a distributor here anymore, so I got the ProKIT from The Tire Rack - $262 before shipping. The Bilstein's I bought here - 52k yen for the fronts, and 30k yen for the rears (about US$630 total). Everything is super expensive here in Japan, though. You should be able to do a lot better.
