Lol I'm like 90% the same build.. I'm gettimg a good deal on the same wing this weekend and it will come with the STI mounting plates due to previous owner. So I reached out to RR about their solution. We will see what they say. I really don't want to mess with the OEM spoiler.

Great build thread. Love following what you’re doing to your F. Quick question on the front Megan racing brace, did you notice any changes Or improvement in handling? I heard some general feedback that the upper tower brace is minimal but looks great. Curious if the lower brace gave you any improvement.

honestly cant quantify the improve with this megan brace. This brace is situated to low in my F coz im running 18s. My ultra racing arrived but i was thinking im going to put back the heavy brackets at the bottom with this set up. In megan the brackets are deleted.

Thanks, this is super helpful. Saved me on pulling the trigger on the Megan brace. Please share any feedback you notice with this new Ultra Racing one. Btw....to return the favor. i just put in bucket seats for both the driver and passenger side. Make sure you ordered the 2.2 ohm one from Bride. My installer ordered the 2.0 ohm from bride by accident (which is recommended for all Japanese cars to his credit) but it kept throwing a light on and off on occasion. I got a 2.2 ohm one from a UK vendor on eBay which finally worked. You need one other sensor on the driver seat and the occupancy sensor on the passenger seat. Once all plugged in, the SRS light goes away. Happy to send you pictures through DM so i don’t hijack your thread.

I stripped my old is350 seats for the wiring harness, and it was a massive mistake. For some reason, I had to transplant the entire harness from that seat since it didn’t have any disconnects. I have miles of wiring harness just so that I can use the passenger occupancy sensor. You also need the 2.2 OHM for both front seats, and magnetic sensor for the driver side (can’t remember it’s name - haven’t had coffee yet). It senses the seats distance from the air bag.

That’s a lot of meat. Any body mods or spacers to make it fit? I’m surprised your not rubbing inside and outside.

My fender was rolled and shaved at the bumper tab at the rear. The rear passenger side rub a little bit but after today when Alex aka ISPOWER visited my resto today, he notice that rear wheel was move rear ward and when i checked it its a .25 inch diffrence from my driver side. Thanks ISPOWER you have a third eye lol. The front has no problem- no modz needed. I still have my oem fender liners and no spacers. Im only running 2.8 camber on my alighnment.
Im thinking fitting 305s coz i found a shop that modifies fenders, but i found out 18 sizes tires doesnt have much 305s in popular brands of tires.

The first thing we did with the mini-sprints was ensure the wheelbase was the same left and right. It's pretty important.
