Thanks, the wheels are almost flush right now... just a little poke. The driver side front wheel rubs on the coilover, so I will have to run a small spacer.

I should have the brakes mounted later this week.

It's a stock VR6.
I purchased the coilovers as a sample, they are the same design as B&G... threaded body

Are those coils the B&G that I seen all over the vortex?
And hey man, I dont care what anyone says, Flicks dont look bad at all, and not everyone can afford to go out and buy 2000 BBS wheels. Looksing good, and some 5mm on the front and some 10's on the back would set it out NICELY!

They aren't B&G, but are the same threaded body design.

I don't like the color combination. I would prefer a black spring and matching collars. They have a 46mm piston, HD seals and full dust boots. These aren't bad coilovers, this manufacturer sells an inverted coilover for the 240sx and I have a local car currently testing them and he is very pleased withtheir performance, but I am not going to buy/resell any more of the vw coils.
