Thanks fellas. For now, I blew most of my year spending for the cost of the suspension and wheels. I was gonna go overboard and blow all of my savings on the Rippmods SC kit which would put a 4K hole through the roof of my piggybank. Thats including the install charges from my estimates from the certified Tein dealer that was a Rippmods certified reseller until the mechanics got pissed off at the Mitsubishi kits. They haven't done a Toyota application until I brought my Solara in. Ahhhh the Non-rice chant of a Toyota.

The shop that I went through for my wheels, the mech was soooo pleased with the work he did for my car since he's been choking on too many Honda applications besides SUV mayhem. Especially for the ultralight wheel of the Enkei when he fitted them on.

Btw the shop might be a tad bit of a rip but its better to stick in an area thats safer to not have itchy eyes glued to expensive wheels to a highly publicized shop. I gonna got grossed at the fact that when my car was in for the wheel install, BRAND NEW Escalade and HUMMERS being fitted with sick 20+" wheels. I dunno how some ppl splurge their money.. In fact, this wheel upgrade of mine was necessary. Tire wear gettng bald and 1 with a small leak. At least I didn't have to invest in a new set of tires b4 buying these. Definately rock my world!

Niice...

How you like the Tein Coilovers so far? I used to have a set and all I can say is Dayam they handle.
Sway bars all around only make them more awesome. LOL...

[TheTamago]

The Tein's handle great. So far, I'm taking the highway corners a little more faster(65mph zone @ 75-80) now since I can rely on new tires and the wider grip. Also, the turns are sweet for me. If I do my turn in correctly, the car just swiftly straightens up for unless I got to much understeer and the car would want to turn in more then I wanted to. I'm planning to get the Whiteline FSB b4 July '06 as I'm heading to Anahiem, CA for my year convention trip. So the suspension setup will be fully completed by then. But I'm loving the turns!!

I get sick over a super track suspension. Feeling every bump would toss me out to the side and puke.

lookin good. makes a big difference between the 15s dosent it

[TheTamago]

Yep. especially for the weight reduction at the wheels. Carrying 4 of my old alloy 15's into the storage made me gawk at the weight of these wheels.
