Got my tuner lugs...and my other clamp, didn't do the clamp as it got too Dark! Also priced out an AEM cold air intake at advance while i was there, for 197.00 i was just gonna get an ebay piping and get the apexi filter...what would be more worth my money?

also heres the rims installed..

I think they look so good..but like ill take better pics in the light tomorrow, to show my STAGGEREDNESS. haha.

Those look pretty badass! You have quite a bit of wheel well spacing though, do you plan on lowering it?

I usually hate the way gold rims look, but your car pulls them off nicely. I agree with mesarius.. get a nice spring kit from eibach or H&R and lower it!

nice update! the 962's always look good on 240's! but yea, get some coilovers. From what Ive heard, dont even look into spring/strut kit. You'll prolly be disappointed with them, and just get coilovers anyways. Some brands that I trust, and know are good are K-sport($800-$1000), Stance GR ($1200), and PBM ($1000). I am gonna get some PBM's because the spring rates are the best for drifting, 10k in front, and 8k in the back

I've heard good things about eibach, otherwise if you can afford them I would look in to Tein. They have some pretty good products too.

yeah eibach has treated me well. The V has eibach springs, and quite frankly that car is driven hard, and has been for 4 years. They hold well, and I've never had any problems.
