**Update Page 2** Wrapped, slammed and powder coated! Canadian F10 part deuce
Update page 2
I've done a few new mods for the new season. Gloss black powder coated wheels, 21" niche monotech Gloss cement gray car wrap And I may have cut the springs a little more… CKS is about to release the AWD coil overs, you can bet I am on the waiting list. Version 1 last summer Version 2 wheel color and cut!! Version 3 wrapped! Last edited by Sticky4l; 04-18-2016 at 08:55 PM.. |

I gotta tell u those 21's fit well! So did you have 20's before and any significant difference when u went with 21's? really debating on going 21's but I bet tire prices cost more? If you don't mind me asking what size did you run up front/rear? Thanks!

How did the the coil cutting affect the ride quality?
It looks really good that low, any rubbing? How much did it cost to do the coil cutting.

Cutting springs can be very dangerous, I had a friend who did it & the springs snapped in two pcs while driving, luckily it didn't happened at high speed.
I know I sound like a party pooper, but yes get Coilovers if u like the slammed look or drive carefully. |

Plus cutting the coils ur taking somewhat of the load index off the coils and making it work harder. Plus ur shocks I could imagine won't last as long. Everyone did this back in my import days...looked sweet but the ride quality sucked!

I know every one is freaking out about the cut springs but like I said above I'm waiting on the coilovers to be released. As of now no one makes coils for the AWD. |

Besides Habs flag in the first photo , lots to like about your car.
I just don't understand the need to go that low. I find that it "cheapens" otherwise classy looking car. |

Just my taste but even on Lowering springs the gap between the fender and wheel still looks huge to me. When u can close the gap to even a finger or less makes the vehicle look even more aggressive! I hear fellow members complain that even after springs that it's still not low enough.
