This is my first post on this forum, but I have been reading here for a while!
I just put on my new 20" BBS CKs and I'm very pleased!
But the car is a bit high isnt it??
I'm soon going to get the m-tech kit installed and the shop owner recomended new springs that drop 30mm, thats about 1.2 inch. I's that enough? will my wheels rub?
I have 285/25/20 on my back wheels and the car has got the standard suspension.
This is a dangerous forum to be on! Every time im here i feel like buying somthing new for the car!!
Todo list: (for now)
M-tech, Springs, Shadowline, Black front grill, Sport exhaust

H&R sports (1.4front/1.3 rear) should be good enough unless you want coilovers - in which case contact PraiseTheLowered for his KW setup ($1400 is a good price and he takes care of his stuff).

Great first post and choice of mods. The wheels look great! Looks like you have extra $ you should get coils so you can adjust it just how you like!

good lookin out
i would suggest full coils because the stock shocks are not tuned for larger wheels and a drop, youll be able to drive with it for a while, but it wont handle like it should
a full coil system will make sure your car performs as good as it looks

Nice wheels. Looks good.
Yes this is a very dangerous forum. Lots of money being spent because of this forum.
