Car in super stock mode





Recently installed tein SS coilovers.. they are currently maxed out, there is a slight vibration or wobble at 20mph but im sure my wheels need balancing also









...

im still debating doing the type S front conversion but I hardly have the patience to save enough $$$ for that, type S rear (which is a must) and performance mods

the an originally as to install coilovers and wheels but thanks to the 6mt brakes the xxr521 18x10 +25 did not clear them, ive asked plenty of times with contradicting info and both sides confident that they either fit or don't, so I went for it... did not clear and did not want to use spacers up front,







Had to sell the wheels... now I don't know what I want to go with next... maybe ES2's or MB battles.. not fully sold though

Nice RRP! Looks great! I second the MB Battles! Should look Great!

Another member "Nivekov" (or something like that has the MB Battles) and looks Great!

Yea but with RRP i often times thought of being less sporty n more on the "classy" look..

Lol thats what i was thinking by my calculations lol... When we actually put the rim on there, it barely even touched the studs lol, id need maybe a 15mm+ spacer to fit... On a rim that was already sitting flush lol... Sad thing is thats the rim setup i really wanted too...

Great pictures and congrats on the coils! It's nice to see a clean RRP.

This though...

GH, you've gotta get that front license plate off of there! If you don't need a front plate, you definitely don't need to advertise for the dealership either.....unless they're paying you to keep that on there.
