Default New Aristo Mook

I'm Japanese so I have family living in Japan and they were nice enough to send me a lot of JDM food and this Aristo mook!! New LS caliper swap info, new, adjustable upper/lower upper arm stuff, and etc!

Too bad I just paid a lot of money for school though, almost makes me wonder why I'm investing in ejumacation.





Mook = Book + Magazine in Japanese btw.

it says you AT LEAST need 19" wheels to clear them. and you do need to modification done to your vehicle. I've actually contacted the manufacturer and posted details in the brake/suspension section above.
