same places i was going when i was on my hunt. searched for about a month. i spotted them on zilvia about 5 months ago. after a few weeks of them not selling, i decided to jump on them. best decision ever tho

wheels with correct hub rings back on with center caps.
still have a huge wheel gap tho.

i got tanabe springs installed @ 168 motoring (def recommend if in socal) and it looks like this



im hoping the after the springs settle in, the front will sit lower. ill give it about 2 weeks and then toss these on

also how it looks from the outside.

thats it for now. contemplating roll center adapters for the front to lower it more. does anyone have experience with them? kinda dont wanna start a new thread in the suspension section if anyone can chime in. thanks in advance.

Yeah those RCA's drop the front a little, all you gotta do is compensate with the coils. But apparently you get more shock travel now! Didn't know we had an option for that brand of RCA's.

yea it dropped it more then i expected actually. the new angle of shock travel is a crazy difference. before a bump would be pretty harsh and now its barely noticeable.
