Those lovely bushings was about to get them but can't handle more stiffness/harshness.

Default Question

Hey, would you mind sending me the link to these tips? I just bought a rear diffuser and want to run a setup similar to yours, but I'm not trying to buy a full exhaust system or anything, mostly just interested in the tips, maybe mufflers too but I don't want it to be much louder than the stock f sport exhaust, let me know as soon as you can, thanks!

Not sure what tips they are, my exhaust shop held up a few different ones then he sent them off to be black ceramic coated. The mufflers are Magnaflow but they are shorter than the ones I wanted as the tips are quite long. I'm also in Australia so might be difficult to source the tips from here.

I'm now thinking my next car will be the RC-F when the first update comes out. When do you reckon that will happen?? ...... next year??

I looked at a GS-F but it just didn't do it for me.

Do you think you can fit 245s under the front fender? I'm looking at a similar set up but want a bit more rubber to help protect the rim of the wheel.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you aren't too low as the tyre may clip the fender where it joins the bumper when turning on bumpy roads.

Full LED conversion just completed using the Phillips X-Treme Vision bulbs, no more yellow light.

I wanted to put RSR Downs in my car but I don't like any rubbing. I noticed how you said you had to add spacers to prevent it from being too low in back.

Is there such a spring to add that lowers the car the right amount for your wheel/tire setup without having to add spacers to rsr downs? (no coilovers as I live in a place with very dirty salty winters). Oh wait, I just read there are such things as RSR half-downs. that must be the right choice for me then.

Also, I don't know much about wheels, but if I like the Rays G27's, would the fit be right if I also did 19x8.5 with 35 mm offset front and 45 mm offset rear? I like the flush look but nothing crazy.

are you RWD or AWD? I have 19x8.5 +32(235-35)and 19x10 +42(265-30) and RSR downs on my AWD with NO rubbing whatsoever. RWD cars lower at bit more than the AWD. Just my .02
