The setup is 18X8.5F, 9.5R sportmax 962. I think offset is +38 but not sure. Tires are nexen N3000 245/45/18 Front and 275/40/18 Rears. This is my 4th set of nexens and they're great. Rear wheels were rubbing so I had to take out the linings on the rears and roll the fenders slightly using baseball method.

Yes I got the alignment done saturday. It was off but now everything is within spec. Completely satisfied with the setup.

Springs are tanabe nf210. Lowers by 1.2'' front and 1'' rear. The tires looked fat and kinda retarded w/o the drop and now I think it looks just right.

Looks great

Are those NF210's stiff? do they bottom out at all on dips ?

awesome look again.

It's definitely slightly stiffer than eibachs but they rarely bottom out.
