New daggers are mounted

Just wanted to post a few pictures of the new Centerline daggers I got. They are 17x8 with 245-45-17 on the front and 17x9.5 with 275-40-17 on the rear. They are not the best pictures. Let me know what you think.

I'd like to see that thing with some better lighting! I'm digging the black accents on the red.

Thanks, they do look good, can't wait to get it out in the spring time. I've got cabin fever, and right now we are under a blizzard warning.
Looks like you have yours lowered a bit. What spring set do you have on yours. I've been looking into it, but have alot of questions about it. Don't know if I want to do it or not.

Yessir i have the Eibach Pro Kit springs. i was skeptical of lowering it at first, but after i put the wheels on, there was no way i was going to drive it with the stock springs. Its probably one of the best, most noticeable things i've done to the car, and it's not any harder to drive it afterwards. Just angle your driveways and you'll be all set

did you have to get LCA relocation brakets or aftermarket shocks? I've been searching the boards and it seems like everybody has different opinions. Would I be able to get away with just getting the springs?

if you want it slammed go with intrax but the ride around town is pretty tought b/c the front is so low you have to look out for everything, i really love my spings though the car wouldnt be the same with out em, but forget about lt headers and forget about driving over speed bumps, my car with stock style 3" exhaust scrubs taking speedbumps almost sideways...

Rims look great! But since i have aftermarket 17s+Pro Kit ill give you my suggestion too. If your gonna replace the springs you might as well do the struts/shocks with it. You can really take advantage of the ride and handling characteristics if you do those both. I was kind like you are now i had just got the rims on, had to lower i did. You definently need to replace the factory struts and shocks if you havent yet. It will get pretty bouncy and like to scrape a lot. Relocation brackets...well i will have those installed sometime this spring. Not a must item but i do have some wheel hop that id like to take care of.

Pro-kit is a great choice to just fill up some of the fendergap shown from going to a smaller sidewall. Good luck and the car looks great as is!

I do run aftermarket KYBs. The ride is stiff of course but its not squishy or anything like that. As far as the relocation brackets, i haven't done them yet, i never have wheel hop... just lots of wheel spin.. but i will probably put them on sometime this year since I know the car will hook up better with them.

Also an adjustable panhard bar is a must in order to center the rearend after lowering. I installed an adjustable Hotchkis version and had to move the rearend a little after i installed the springs
