Looks great. The black TE37s with the white F go good together. Any rubbing on the fenders?

No rubbing right now, bottomed out on some of my usual rough spots and not a peep. Think this is the magical offset for me!

Looks good and nice start but those springs rates are pretty off considering a bunch of us are loving 16/12k rates

Ventross lip finally arrived, did some test fitment on it today, the weaves are very nice and the finish is great. It came with no mounting hardware, but a quick trip to home depot should fix it. I literally only have 2.5 inches of clearance from the road, it's a bit close for my taste, time to raise the ride.

+1. You're going to hate a 12kg/mm spring rate up front. The inside rear wheel will hardly ever be on the ground.

I know your a big supporter of the factory car but i have to say i am a little surprised you haven't given a set of coil-overs a try. If your unhappy you could always go back to stock.

I've already experienced the pain of low quality with the Tein on my Supra. I will never buy Tein again. I'll buy the Penske when it's time. Right now the wife is 28 weeks pregnant, so it's not the best time to spend a lot on the car.

You have to explain that the coilovers are to give the baby racer a smoother nicer ride. Do what woman have been doing to men for centuries--It's for the family, not for me.

To OP, that is sweet. That lip looks gorgeous. Every time I see a white with black, it makes me mad I got an Obsidian instead. The white with black wheels and accents looks amazing.

Very nice Perfect mods IMO. Can't wait to see it with the lip on. Post more pics when you can!

I had no idea they had stance GR+ for our cars lol
I had them on my old 350z and loved it

more mod madness, trying to get it ready for summer! Wald replica installed. Surprisingly decent quality, I was ready to return should the quality not have panned out, but it's quite nice for 300 shipped to my doorstep. Made by folks at Carking and I opted for the paint match, which looks pretty good.

Install was fairly straightforward, patience required but nothing a heatgun, old gift card wrapped with tape, and a cold beer couldn't fix.

Pics below.
