I think that is a nice engine too but after all the work u put into the kit you should go with some other rims because them rims are not that nice. That is my opinion though.

the suspension is kinda wierd... i lowered it as far as it would go... meaning that i cut the suspension parts but it was still sitting really really high... part of the reason it looks so high is that i opened up the wheel arches by about 3mm to give it a better profile. what i did was to cut the suspension parts as far as i could and then glued plastic sheet to the back of the disks to act as shims. this way i can glue the wheels higher onto the hubs. in addition to that, the shims acts as an offset which pushes the wheels out a bit to fill the fender flares. in addition to the shims, i added a lip on the front of the rims to widen the wheels. wider wheels need wider tires so therefore, the tires were also modified to be wider. the resulting tires are one tread line wider than the stock tires in the kit... you can't really tell from the pics without the body on but when it is, you'll be able to see the difference.

at the beginning, i also was skeptical with the wheels but with the body on, i really like the way they look... i guess you’ll just have to keep an open mind and trust me until i finish this thing...

Yeah I think if u like that kind of style of rims u should put some xs tuning c2 sports on there because they would look much nicer since there the same style. I like this same style too!!

Hey appleseed if we could get a picture of the the suspension I certainly would appreciate it. I'm trying to lower my ITR but having trouble.
