beauty man, i had Eibachs too and loved them. you have to be careful though, my shocks wore out after a while with the lowering springs installed, i bought coils to replace the whole assembly though.

i never liked the silver before but it looks great once its lowered and you black out the front ring. i like the direction you are going in, clean and mean keep it up


EDIT: just noticed you said you got the pro kits, i had the sport lines so that may be why my shocks wore out so fast

Nice, looks good! No longer the 4x4 look that Mitsubishi loves so much.

If you're just on the ProKits, you'll be fine. Don't run the hell out of it in turns though, more of an opportunity for them to prematurely wear faster.

Oh, that wasn't what I was talking about. If you are committed to a color, have them powder-coated. You will thank yourself, later. My powder-coated stock Enkeis have held up to some pretty major road hazard abuse like champions. I cannot recommend paying the extra money to do that enough. It is worth it and then some.

For $500 (plus shipping), I will sell you mine, which have already been powder-coated graphite grey. They would look great on silver.

In Durham, they charge $50 per wheel. I have seen as high as $100 per wheel, but that is way over-priced (IMO).

Thank you, but I would rather deal locally where I can personally inspect the rims for damage. Plus shipping from Florida to NY will cost me the price of at least 2 tires that I will need to buy once I get new wheels so it is just not logical for me.
