Damn, I had high hopes for the FF type II's or I guess "slammed" hopes

I was hoping to have a slammed GE thread but its lookin like that might be a pretty lonely thread

Maybe the wrong thread to post this in but damn that sucks!!! So he raced away from you at 120+?? That's insane. What a dickbag. I'm w/ you on the rims thing tho. It seems kinda scary having a set of wheels that are worth a grand or two on a daily driver...

Thank you, what format do i use to show photos? They coilovers will go about 3/4 in lower if I take the collars off. But it sits about 3/4 -1 in under the tire

To post a picture you just need to copy the url of the image and paste it into the dialog box that pops up when you click the Insert Image button above the text box.

lol Buddy Clubs aren't "worth a grand or two"

Every day this week I could go pick up a set for a few hundred bucks.

I had a friend put them on. He said that's as low as they go. You might be right about them going lower. There stock tire height also which can make a difference too. But the ride is good. Tight but not bouncy. Maybe a little soft but there set to softest dampening setting. I think also you can take some preload out of the spring to get it lower but you sacrifice suspension travel.

Sounds like there may be more to this (cool) story bro, not that we'll ever find out. Like why was he on the shoulder? Why would he risk damage or even wrecking his own car to hit yours? Who was racing who really?

Buddy Clubs are $$$$/ wheel new aren't they? Are you gonna buy one to replace the damaged one? Well it appears that you only have damage to the front left wheel so that's good.

I guess that's true...bc's are cheap. so yeah why not just get a new one? i guess those xxr 522s are super cheap in comparison, maybe you don't have $130 on hand for a new buddy club...
