Bought the car stock over a month ago now, did a littl DIY, painted my badge red, system was in 2 days after purchasing the car
Cadence ZRS6000, 1500peak watts monoblock
Pioneer DEH-P3000IB single din headdeck
and Kenwood kfc something something :P 12 inch sub in kenwood box 1400peak

little over a week ago got a set of 18inch akuma n-06's
and today had it lowered 2inches, not as low was i wanted, but the offset is wrong, getting an engineer to check out if its safe to machine the offset down a little, maybe 5mm
and guards getting rolled 2morrow

Nice ... errr ... part of the car! Looking forward to the whole car one day. :D But yeah, you're better off getting wheels with the right offset to start with rather than trying to machine it to the offset you need.

welcome aboard and congrats on the new ride, as Arith said do not machine offset but rather get the right wheels. Dropping it that low with wrong offset is going to cause some serious mechanical issues with your suspension set up sooner rather than later. If you are going that low then you best invest in a whiteline roll centre kit pronto.

where did you take your car to get lowered? what springs did you use and cost?

now that the springs have set, ive decided to keep it this height LOL

I got the springs done at allsprings moorebank, got compressed ones, the ride isnt bad, alot better than i expected

yeah, ive considered selling the wheels and getting different ones
