There are currently 18x9 +35 and 9.5 +35 available. I think im gonna spring for the 9.5",
This would be the approximate equivalent of a 9" +24 though however. We'll see.

Did you decide yet on what width you want?

Haha surprisingly enough i'm still up in the air.. I might just copy Runduce's setup I guess.. grab the 9" +35s..then run the 20mm's up front.
Waiting for coilover info though.. I don't really want to pull the trigger on HKS Hipermax 3's if JIC FLT-TAR are so close to coming out.

I am also looking for coilovers, but I am looking for something more suited for the street.

I would say stay away from KW V3's then..those are seriously track duty, independent compression and rebound, very harsh spring rates with the valving to match.

The V3s are a very nice streetable suspension.

Not as stiff as alot of the other suspensions available.

Well, I don't think its any more streetable really then jic or HKS would be..dampening at 2/5ths of full usually is pretty decent enough..

haha yes, but its soooo good quality. I had ADVAN RC2's before, which are light by their own means, i think about 19lbs in 18x9.5...then I went to VOLK which are like a minimal 1.5-2lbs lighter in the same size, and I could honestly feel the steering was MUCH lighter, my friend who drove my car in both circumstances said the same.

Nice choice on the rims... I love the way they look. I could not justify them on my car however, gray and the black w/red just didn't look like it would go.

Get them... and get them on the car!
