Sweetness. With your repainting of the calipers, it makes me wish you had gotten my old GT-7's.

Ride is definitely firmer and pretty rough, handling is tighter and more responsive. The car is more planted in the corners. The stock "bounce" is also gone. So just the way I like it But it could use even wider tires!

Lowered on Tein H-Techs. Hope this helps.

BTW big ups to Exclusivis for the idea to smoke the rear signals/reverse. I saw it on his car first so I decided to do it on mine...
Hey, when you say cut fenders does that mean you rolled the rear quarters? Im also putting on H techs very soon and want rims afterwards. Tirerack calls for 225 35 20 in the front but i see you got 245s dont they rub? For the rears they call for 265s I see you put on 275s is that the reason you did your rear fenders? Sorry to be a pain, but i want to get it done right the first time. thanks

No, the fenders are cut, not rolled. You can roll also, but the paint might chip. IMO, I wouldn't trust tirerack for wheel fitments. They will give you something that fits, but the offsets and the setup might look like crap.

The tire sizes depend on the width of the wheel, and whether you want the tire to be flush or stretched. Mine is stretched in the rear a bit so I can run more aggressive offsets.

Whether you rub or not depends on a combination of wheel width, offset, and tire size. If you go with a conservative setup you wouldn't have to worry about rubbing, but it also won't look as good and it won't give you a wider stance for stability and handling. Hope this helps.
