New parts for my car should be in tomorrow [now with pics]
 
I'm excited and bored, so I'm posting.

Installed the new suspension last tuesday, KYB AGX struts with KGMM SuperSport springs. Drop is ~ 2.5" and it rides smooth, but still too much body roll. Going to something stiffer if sway bars don't clear it up.

Got these wheels ~ 6 months ago. 15x7.5 +35

New tires came in today, Hankook Ventus HR, 195/50/15

Spacers should be in tomorrow, and then I'll have the wheels on! The spacers are 1.25" or about 34mm, for an effective offset of ~0-1mm

And my engine was finished today, so I'll go pick that up tomorrow. Had it bored (0.25mm over), balanced, and the rods & pistons (Eagles & 9:1 SRPs) installed.

the style or the dirt? They are dusty :/ The style I love, ------ old school. I think they were made in the early 90's, so they should fit in well on the early 90's styling of my car.

Pics will show it. I might have to pull the fenders to get the tires under all the way 8)

tires on wheels, spacers in hand, 21mm lugnuts do not fit in 23mm holes :(

My dad is bringing me some 19mm lugnuts, then it's picture time.

Engine is sitting in the passenger seat too.

thanks guys :)

No plans for boost on that yet. Maybe when the KA dies I'll throw in a SR. That will be awhile though, the KA only has 100k on it 8)

boost the KA. its much more worth it. and those wheels look pretty good. for some reason when you first posted, i was under the impression they were going on a honda.

I learned my lesson, no more turbo'ing engine's that weren't turbo'd, for cars that I have to drive anyway.

One of my friends hasa KA-T project that is comming along nicely though.

Looks nice. Just get those fenders rolled out and you'll be set.
