  1. It looks like TEIN finally make coilovers for the USDM 5th gen LGT.

    This looks REALLY good. And the EDFC looks pretty trick as well. I'm hoping they/someone starts carrying these soon over here.

     

    MSRP conversion for the four shocks look to be about $1700 and if I read the site correctly, you have to add springs to that.

     

     

    But I do like that they specifically state that it will work for US (BM9) cars.

  2. Yeah, I looked at the other ones and I wasn't a fan. The DR-35's...meh... (no offense. :lol:) The 34's were okay, but not for a winter set-up. The rest didn't spark my interest.

     

     

    Anyways, I called to check up on the order and while on the phone, they ended up splitting the difference to upgrade from a $72/ea steel rim to a $115/ea wheel for $86. I was prepared to shell out the extra $172+tax, but they helped me out.

     

    They wanted me to take the MB Wheel 5 X. Those things are hideous.

     

    I just went for it, said screw it and got the bronze. I'll run them this winter and if I hate them, I just get them powder coated over the summer.

     

    I will say discounttiredirect.com is WAY easier to work with than Tire Rack. I've purchased a ton of stuff from Tire Rack and after this encounter with DTD.com, they'll be getting my business when I buy some summer rims.

     

    BTW - I got out of WNY about 8 years ago. I lived down in the Southern Tier (in the sticks between Jamestown/Salamanca off I86). Even with soem lake effect here in Cleveland...it's nothing compared to what I grew up with.

  3. I think I might be a bit crazy here. I purchased soem steelies for my winter set-up and they are on back order across the USA. So I'm looking to just pony up and get a set of DRAG DR-33's for the car instead.

     

    But... while Gunmetal seems to be a good solid choice, I'm digging the bronze color as well. The gold is too much.

    Am I off my rocker? It's a 2012 LGT, stock ride height and all the trim is still chrome look.
