Any experience on how the KW handles changing driving surfaces, like smaller bumps or irregularities, as well as breaking at higher speed (80-120mph)?
I had BC Racing BR before, I have to say it's a night and day different. Fast turns are more stable, less body roll, give you a more solid ride when going through uneven surface. KW is known to give a more comfy ride. It really depends what setting you are at when breaking at high speed, I adjusted the coilovers couple times to get to the point i really like.

did you add the protective film over the splitters before they were installed. just ordered a set and will get them painted and installed at the local shop, but was thinking of wrapping them in 3m protective film for added protection....thoughts?

I ordered it from Japan. Did a GB in Feb, the shipment should be arriving shortly. You will probably be seeing more people having those.

I did not put any protective film on the splitters as I dont think it will give good protection anyways. I am repainting my front bumper this week and adding ROWEN spoiler. Hopefully my SARD sway bar will be also arriving. Stay tuned for updates guys.

Not sure if it has been asked already, but what is the "thing" right below your lights?

Assuming you don't mean the DRL light, then that chrome bump would be the headlight washer fluid nozzle.

Hey gpxluke, I love your build! Almost exactly the way I was planning on building mine. Where did you get your roof spoiler? Been looking for that exact one painted in Ultra White as well. Thanks!

I am looking at 19x8.5 +45 for my fronts as well. I noticed you have a 5mm spacer for the front. Was that necessary due to rubbing? I'm curious if the 1/2" inside will touch anything.

Dope ride man!
