Tune guy- Ill PM you when I get home tonight from work or later.

Guys about drop- I dont know but in the back i can put my fist through it sideways. Ill take a pic of it up close and post it.

And thanks guys. I will be taking care of it, keep it clean(as in washing but primarilly meaning no stickers and the sort), and all that good stuff. And yes im very happy with the 2010 tc front end already done and the Red and Black leather interior. Exhaust sounds pretty mean too haha.

Love the fact i got an average of 27 mpg driving to work. I drive 40 miles 1 way and i drive up and down 2 mountains and some highway in between.

Sounds like someone needs a new set of tires.

My Ice-Xs handle winter like a champ. Around Christmas time we had enough snow to fall over the weekend for fresh powder all the way up to the bottom of my headlights. Heading for work at 5:30 in the morning no one else on the road I was doing 100km/h in second powering through it all. Snow flying everywhere, it was a fun drive.

I dont think it is. I ran into a black TC today at the store and the drop looked similar. I want a set of TC rims i think... haha.

I will have to look out for a set.... I like them. I get a lot of compliments about these though too... But lighter is always better. Just had to put a spare on because of blowing out a tire and they are NOT light... hahaha.

What do you guys think about the wheel gap?

I think it looks like its lowered because your sidewalls look a little beefy. What size tires are they?
Nvm i just noticed the size in one of the pics.

Why? Then you can't rotate. Plus it throws the wheel speed sensors off and abs if you roll two different sizes. 225 on s/c wheels, 235 on t/c wheels, 245 if you go with an 8" wheel.

I would def. like to go wider but im not going to mess with it untill I need new tires. These tires are only H rated too I found out today... nooo idea why they would do that... but I dont plan on hitting that anytime soon. Expecially with us STILL getting snow in central PA....

And a 1.5" drop will look **** on this.... cant wait.

thanks macguy, me too. And we have a Sheetz with a touchless car wash so it works out very well.

And I wouldnt mind going 225 and I found a good price for tires that I will be getting once these tires wear out. And I found out the tires on my car now are only H rated.... they are 215/45/r18 Cooper Zeon ZPTs...
