Do you think the axle back is worth it? I keep hearing mixed reviews that you can barely hear the difference. Super tempted to pull the trigger on an axleback just don't want to waste money if you can't hear any difference, especially from inside the cabin.

I have invidia exhaust. Great sound but subtle. I am on the fence to get a midpipe. I would not mind just a bit more noise, or at minimum elimination of resonator.

Do you have any sound clips of the Invidia? I found some on YouTube but most are cat backs. I'm just interested in th axel back sound.

Do you have pics of your car with the Ferrada wheels? I'm looking into getting the FR4 for my 2016.
Also, what size did you go with? 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 in rear?

Looks like the way the car should have come with a lower stance.
I just installed the NF210's as well but upgraded to 20's and they still feel really smooth, reviews are spot on.

Did you have to install SPC camber arms (or any other after market camber arms) with the Tanabe springs?

Most members say that you wouldn't need it but it all depends on the stance.
I am going to wait after the alignment and see how the tires do first. I expect -camber though, it may help on rubbing issues.
