Brembo, SVE, Cali Spec., Tint, BC Racing.....
So, it's been quite some time since I posted up, and lots of things have happened!
Got rear-ended, causing 4k in damages..
Hit-n-run on the interstate, needs a new front fender, tie rod, and front bumper..
Shopping cart damage on the quarter panel,
and all kinds of fun stuff.
But I've spent lots of money, and have all my new mods installed.
Did away with the 20"s, now have 19x9.5 Matte Black SVE Drifts.
BC Racing Coilovers (maxed out low on the rear..need spacers),
Cali Special Front and Rear bumpers,
Rear tail light tint,
and a set of GT500 Brembo's, so those v6 brakes aren't so tiny!
14" Rotors, 4 Piston, omnomnom.
Future mod list: Rear wheel spacers, Roush 9-Bar Billet Grille, CDC Faux cap delete blackout panel, Roof vinyl wrap....
"Here's pics!

Damn that looks great! I LOVE the fender hash marks. Was looking to do the same on mine but don't know if it will show up as well on SG. Question about you COs. is the ride smoother to go with COs or a good shock/spring combo? I want to lower about 1.5" but don't really want to loose the ride comfort (if possible).

Go with shocks and springs if you're looking for comfort. Coils are stiff and built for "racing" more so. lol]
I've had three different suspension setups.
Roush Rear lowering springs only.
Eibach Sportline springs only.
Tokico D-Spec shocks and strucs + Eibach Sportlines.
BC Coils.
The ride on the Tokicos, even on a 2" drop was heavenly.

Sorry to hear about the accident, looks like everything worked out in the end though it all looks awesome!!
I tried out the Koni STR.T's when it came time to replace my shocks/struts and I think I prefer the Tokico's over the Koni's, I might be in the minority saying that but, thats just me.
