HRE or CHAMPIONS? need advice
#17
thanks for all the thoughts/comments guys.. what about KINESIS? i had an offer to trade my HRE for a set of kinesis + cash.. not exactly sure on which set he has to offer yet and also how much cash hes willing to spend..
im located out in federal way.. the roads are not that great but not that bad, ive been living here for 15 years so im use to the raods.. got in a lot of practice from driving those super low hondas/acuras! im lookin forward to tracking the car later on down the road but im just gettin started on it and its a long way from being ready for the tracks..
im actually waiting for my H&R springs to come in and im not exactly sure if the 19s would fit after lowering the car cause im already rubbing when i turn/taking a hard corner. the 19s fill in the tire gaps fairly well without the car even being lowered.. maybe the HRE's would fit/look better once my suspensions in.
ill pm you st.louis ang give you more details about the HRE's and maybe we can work something out.

Sure and I have a set of Eibach lowering springs about to come off of my car. I am going with coilovers. PM me and I will give you some advice on lowering your car and what to and not to do.

how much are you trying to sell your used eibachs for? i was just trying to order a set off of vivid racing but they sent me an email sayin they're out of stock for another 2-3 weeks. i just placed an order for a set of H&R springs and the transaction is pending. are you switching out your suspension anytime soon? if so maybe i can just pick those eibachs off of you to save me a few dollars!

Yea mine should be off in the next 2 weeks tops. I am buying a set of KW V3's. If you want to use as part trade for either the Champions or if you get the Kinesis. Let me tell you know that you want the adjustable rear toe arms on your car if you lower it. If you do not do this you will chew through tires and not be able to get within spec on any alignment machine.

I would be cautious about Fikse's, I read they were just bought out by Lexani and are no longer making the same type of wheels. Replacements and the service you've come to expect from Fikse is now in Lexani's hands.

fiskes are also a great brand.. theres so many types of wheels out there made for p-cars.. what would you guys rank from top to bottom?.. you all seem very firmiliar with your wheels and suspensions..
how much am i lookin at for the rear toe arms? are those still recomended if i pick up 1 piece suspensions? i was never really a big suspension guy so all advice would help..
heres a few pics of the kinesis K27s
the original owner says there custom 18s since the k27 are originally made only in 17s..

so may options and so many great wheels to pick from.. the owner of the kinesis is from vancouver.. and willing to drive down also.. what is my best options.. sorry for so many questions.. i just dont wanna end up keeping or having the ****tiest wheels from the 3.

Here is the deal. If you lower with spring you need rear toe links to help combat the negative camber that your car will have with lowering springs. Shoot me a price on the Fikse, I think if I powder coated them charcoal the would look good on my car.

well shoot me an offer on the "KINESIS" JP! they are not fiskes.. just to make everything clear.. haha since i am reading fiskes rims out of no where.. but yeah.. ill most likely give the guy a call about to trade over the weekend.. if you are interested in the "KINESIS" K27s.. give me a call maybe tuesday and we'll definitely get together..
