My new rims. - Hyundai Performance Forums

Ok - I DEFINETLY need lowering now.

WARNING: this pics show a REALLY dirty car, the dirtiest it's ever been. Looks like I tryed to do a Monet painting on it. Damn salt. And Canadian winters. Also - it's parked in a weird spot so the the travel on the front wheel on side side is exaggerated and the lack of travel on the rear is too. But here they are.

They're BSA Colbras, 16". Picked them up used (the dirty car is the result of the 5 hour trip both ways to go get them). Thoughts? Opinions please.

I'm looking at your car and i'm thinking Hello 4 years ago, and that you must like my car a lot =) take a look at my site. I think the travel on the front isn't that exaggerated, we both know that it's pretty high from standard.

Springs will help, but the shocks are too damn soft. get some coil overs made. they cost me $1800 australian, which is the average rate for a custom job here. If not, get koni shocks on the rear like i did, and king springs. my front is the coil over suspension setup. as you'll see on my site.

Thanks for the compliments.

The spray was painted with a 150km/h brush... :P

DSM - I hope you don't think I'm copying you!! Have you had similar rims? They just happened to come up for sale and I got them for a pretty good price.

I'm going to look into some stuff. Thinking of maybe going with Intrax for springs, but in the end I'll probably have to have custom coil overs in the front. As for shocks - I'll probably go KYB. When I get the money is another thing. Come on income tax fund! Show me the money!
