The enkei 92's I picked up from a local guy took me a while to find the rite size I wanted in good cond. The best place to find them I would say is zilvia.net I always see mesh rims for sale there.

Damn man your girlfriend has some nice coilovers...
good sheet right here
BTW when you get that rear setup mounted can you set them as low as they can go and take a pic? im curious to see if they go low enough.
Nov 1, 2010, 9:19 am · #92
Will do most likely won't be until after I get the car painted!
Nov 1, 2010, 9:42 am · #93
shit my stuff isnt that shiny LOL
Nov 1, 2010, 10:39 pm · #94
COOL! please review those bc coils for us.
Where did you order your bc coils from? I didn't know BC coils has s13/s12 coilovers set.
Are you going with a rolled center ball joints on those s13 lca?
Nov 8, 2010, 11:13 pm · #95
i got the coils from importimageracing.com
any bc racing distributers should be able to order them..
i'll put in my review on them once they go onto the car and the motor gets built and swapped in which wont be most likely until the end of december.
still need to order my EMS for the car im leaning towards getting haltech....
im just got OEM balljoints...
havent done much just picked up a greddy oil pan.. that should be it for my motor for now...
Nov 9, 2010, 5:35 am · #96
Haltech ftw!!
