this might kinda sound a little odd, or out of the ordinary of regular based questions. The thing is, my parents wont allow me to lower my car, and i just bought some 17's off the internet and hope to be puttin them on in a month or so...I was wondering if you guys, could post up reasons why it is a good idea (or why it is a must) to get aftermarket suspension kits(especially with aftermarket rims), this is my only hope to be able to lower my car, so im asking for everyones best input. thanks guys for all help and advice that is to come!!
if you're coming up with stuff to BS your parents with, it won't work. they're not as stupid as you think.
only thing "lowering" a car will do really is lower the car. without a proper match of struts and springs, a significantly better handling vehicle won't be attained.
and your parents will tell you that you don't need better handling (chances are they're right as very few people can handle their own cars on the ragged edge of its limits stock)
good luck lol. I think you should just take a pause. they see you rushing into it and are gonna stop you at every point.
haha...you seem to know my parents lol....everytime i mention something i want...they like freak out and think the car will fall apart if they let me have it....man if i cant get the lowering springs, maybe get the Carbon fiber front bumper lip and carbon fiber sideskirts...to make it 'appear' lower...eh...i want to lower my car especially since i just bought the new rims (ADR S-07R's: newest line of ADR), also because i see a lot of people out there with lowered cars with aftermarket rims, and they look tight azz...huh, maybe somethin will come up...i just want my ride lookin sweeet with the shiny rims....who knows maybe my car wont look bad afterall when the new rims go on, and i can be satisfied with stock height...

im still waiting to hear what headers sound like on the sr20de...[/url]
header, singular, we only have one
this is the only vid I have of my car (01 se) with i/h/e. You can hear a bit what it sounds like, but obviously the camera's mic isn't the best. It would be best to find someone locally who has one that you can take a ride in. I'm pretty sure there are a few SEs in FL.
oh btw, those are the exact rims im gettin, they got my bolt pattern 4x114.3, so dont worry =)...oh and i know on somethings to wait till college before gettin...but somethings just cant wait! after i put my rims on (omg i ordered them on sunday and are expected to arrive friday), i plan to go with CF or BLACK tailights, then do some [more] show stuff, maybe tint my windows etc.....ill wait till i go to college most likely before i get like header and exhaust....college arrives in august...wooooo!!
