I have the buschur spec JIC Magic. They are very nice. Your going all out on the rest of the car, dont skimp the suspension!
i have not even decided to do the suspension yet or if there is really a need for it to be honest. My car sits low enough and I DONT WANT IT LOWER. if the buschur spec JIC are only for dragging I dont want them. has to be nice DD/roadrace/part time drag. once i hit 10.9 dragging at the track is over. what do you think of my rims selections so far hommie

Well, I never dragged my car, nor took it to the track before the motor blew. I was just using JIC as an example of a nice coilover. My car doesnt sit too low, and it doesnt have to be slammed on a coilover. I loved some spirited driving in my car, and it hugged the pavement like crazy. ill look at the wheels when i get home, and let you know what i think.

I used to have gold weds, and i think those would look good. Ill check um out and give my opinion!

its silver. i think the JIC on buschurs site are around 2k, maybe less. havent looked for a while. They discontinued the wheels i had, the SA-90's. You can still find sets here and there for about 1k new.

i disagree with that aero peaces do wonders in time attack road coursing etc so effectivly shaving time means your moving faster hommie i know aero peaces add up lol but can make your car look hella good

im going to call them and confirm fitment without fender rolling and i was thinking either the yellow neo chrome ones or the gunmetal neo chrome one?? I can help you with aero peaces when your ready i always find deals given enough time hommie LOL. have to make the car look aggressive with your agressive motor. I still dont think suspension yet is worth the coin if i got heavy into Roadcoursing then yes is a must for sure.

Well, with already having coilovers, im not going to do a whole lot more. Less than 1k of parts, so i figure that will be easier to get done than anything else haha. Plus i only have a year left til I graduate college, then ill have some money to play around with!

I have some gunmetal rims waiting on the garage, so Im a fan of that color!
