Nice. They kinda remind me of the IS300 rims. What's the weight on those things? They look pretty heavy...

Yeah they are pretty heavy. I got them from a kid on e-bay for $615 shipped BRAND NEW! I just got the tires from tirerack today so as soon as I get a chance I will get them mounted and put on.

YUP! Its either thoes or the Tein Basic. I have see how much $$ I got when its time to do the suspension. I think I just might get the S-Tech and save the rest for someother shit.

I am going to be getting the Tein S-Tech springs.

For the EP3 when they come out? Or the ones that are not made for our cars?

If they aren't made for the car why is everyone buying and selling them? Did I miss something? :confused:

Yeah, they are made for the 01-up coupes and sedans...MUCH softer spring rates. Progress costs the same and the drop is close (1.8" front, 1.5" rear) and they are made for our car. Or you can wait until Tein develops the S Tech for our car.

Has any with the S-Tech on the EP3's reported any problems?

Just that the spring rate is too soft and the drop is not as advertised for the coupe/sedan.

Yeah, I posted about this a while back, but I still managed to sell my teins to someone on here. Tein contacted me with another email saying they never intended for companies to sell the s-techs for the si, they strongly recommend against it.

Ok so then I'll get something else. Im not gonna get that if Tein says not to. I guess I'll just get the Basic Suspension.
