just placed an order for some factory TPMS and i also ordered some iforged TPMS adapters so i don't have to deal with that annoying amber tire alert lol.

VS-XX gold powdercoated. My offsets are pretty aggressive but they should have no problem 19 x 9 +34, 19 x 10 +36. Might have a lil poke but it should work fine without any fender mods

Tein does not specific these springs for F Sport or non-F Sport for their domestic cars, they fit any GSE30/31 car.

The springs are good, the niciest deference (after drop, of course) is the ride quality - they are less harsh and bone shaking than stock F Sport ones. The body roll is more noticeable while cornering hard, but this is no problem for me. The only disappointing aspect is that a slight rake on the rear end is still there, despite the claimed drop of -25 mm front and -15 mm rear. So I'd give them 4/5 )
