WOW! Dude those wheels a clean and the lows have seriously made this car! you've done a sterling job of that! If it's ok with you would you mind me posting one of the pictures on our slambox page?

You need to be repping a Slambox tomadachi I think also! ![](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/griffo20022/Luna%20The%20Leopard/IMG_20150208_212636_zpsd2f969d8.jpg)

Oh yes... It's definitely a nice height, the arch gap on that will be from how low the profile on your tires are; 14's are the perfect size wheels for it, if you want to fill the gap a little more try some 50 or 55's maybe. The stickers are cool too, not overkill on quantity and the ones that are on there look good. Good to see it all done ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I don't get why people put the taxi signs on cars?? But one of those illuminated on the parcel shelf would be pretty cool no neither really but thought it was add a nice retro japan touch to my parcel shelf that's mainly what I wanted it for ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png) [/quote] How about a golden lucky cat?

BIG UPDATE! At last...the wheels are on and I couldn't be happier, athough there is about a 2 inch arch gap and I can't go lower I still think it looks awesome. Might possibly get some chunky tyres to fill the arch gap or look for some 15" wheels but for the time being I'm chuffed. Today I put on all the parts I had laying around on i.e. stickers, japan stuff and the wheels with the new wheel nuts. I am still having to modify the center caps to fit so looks curse word without them but i'll let you see the pics now and stop rambling on. ![](http://i.imgur.com/F85AicA.jpg) Wow, that is epic, wish my wheels were this shiny. I think my stanza is the same set up at the front, what do you have to do to fit the 6n coilovers as i need decent lows as this pic shows, ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/10636816_519975394802877_6097023400818577288_o.jpg)

why cant it be lowered anymore? hardly looks dropped at all. front coilovers have like another inch of thread left to go but the back is on these awful lowering springs but even still they're only like 5 coils so can't cut anymroe or it will just be a death trap :/ Why will les than 5 coils be a death trap? I only have 3 coils of the stock spring in the front of my Senator and its fine. Wind the coilovers down to their lowest position, remove the helper springs, and chop the bump stop rubbers down to about 10mm thick.

Indeed two coils out the back, wind the front down as far as it can go, keep the wheels ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
