as you can tell by the pics.. i lowered it with springs, smoked the headlights, blacked the grill out, cross drilled rotors and so forth.. BUT then i ran the urge to drop it more hit me (which id like to thank all of YOU for!!) .. so i orderd tires with more of a stretch (215/35 front / 225/35 rear), jom coilovers, new front end ish, camber kits, .. etc.. to get the job done..

now on to Genghis.. which may not be some of you's thing.. but hey.. to each they own.. i think the main problem with genghis was the lack of respect i was gettin for choosing an eclipse as a build car.. i guess until i had something to prove to some folks.. goin from a GT500 theme to a 'what if i remade this ish, how would i make it better" deal... so first thing i did was step up the wheel game..

one pet peeve of mine is when a car like this is built with all show and u look under the hood and theres a stock motor.. so i decided to turn to the performance aspect of the car.. since those are 20s.. 3000gt Vr4 calipers (yes they fit..) with cross drilled rotors front and rear (12" and 11.5" respectively).. ordered (preview of how they look behind the wheels)
