that is why I like the way my car sits, I'll rip the sides off before I curb a wheel. This pic gives the right idea, even the front wheels are inside the fenders.

Not feeling the amount of stretch, but otherwise, the rims look good on the car!

^thank you sir !

I want some more drop but the coils are max out already , thinking to get another brand of coils that can drop more, but afraid the ride will be extra bouncy.

That is what I did ^ My rears are all the way slammed with the locking collars removed and just the spring sitting on the perch base where the collar screw onto. I want to know if I can even remove that little silver base and let the spring just sit on the control arm, cuz I still need moar low in the rear.

Red over Gold looks fantastic!
And while the TRD's are heavier, I'm happy to have that strength when I pound over those 4" frost heaves on our hiways. OUCH!!! To be honest, I can't believe I haven't lost a tire or destroyed a wheel over some of our provinces finest speed-bumps.

Yup those Trd are pretty strong ... I used them for almost 3 yrs and still have no bends n cracks :) but I had a change of heart and love the multispokes wheels more :)

I have another sets of multispokes wheels (17" OZ superleggeras) for my winter set , but still need to refinish .
