    I got an 05 S w/ sport pkg. you think the s tech is to much. my second choice was the hotchkist, but since this pic is fake i don't know.

    that pic in the first post is definitely photoshopped, but the car was raised from its position in the original post.

    answer 1: that drop looks more like a setable coilover set at the lowest setting but yeah shes photoshoped.

    as for rims on my car I'm looking at a set of 1" 5 spoke with a thicher spoke... but like I said I havent found one that I have truly fallen in love with yet, and if I'm spending that much money on a rim I realy want to love it

    the offset for our cars I'm not exactly sure about to tell you the truth...

    and I believe our bolt pattern is eather 5X100 or 5X114 one would need to measure to find out...:)

    you cn get eather offset and eather way you'll have to roll your fenders... but the nice thing about the h-techs is they don't drop your car so dramaticaly that much of anything would rub... unles you went with DUBs....... :)

    the offset of 35 would stick out more right? or wrong? so it wouldnt matter wit the h-techs? Do you know what the exact drop after installation? I'm gonna go wit the h-techs. Oh yea just got my vvti decal today can't wait to install it and fill the horsepower. Vinyl graphics add HP right? j/p. I ;m glad to be part of the community. you guys are really helpful. the reseason why I joined. thanks!

    offset of 35 sticks out more than 40. you guys should really do searches instead of going around giving stagnant info.

    here is a picture that should help explain offset:
    [IMG]

    fyi the bolt pattern on 03+ is 5x100. generally, try to stick to your stock offset and you won't rub. the stock offset on my car is +43mm. i got +45mm on my aftermarket wheels, and everything is good.
