they look great on your car! I decided I didn't want aftermarket after I gave it more thought so I got another set of a-spec wheels.

just installed these yesterday, got a good deal on them. took me about 3 hours only because I've got a lot of experience installing suspension on these cars.

Hey man, nice setup! I'm running nearly the same thing on my Type S. Tein S Techs, 18x8 ebony a-specs, 245/40/18 tires, and 15/20mm spacers front/rear. Check out my thread for pics of the combo. Yours would just be a little bit different with the 8.5 A-Specs.

Very nice. I haven't seen many mods on your car but sounds like you're making good progress now!

Love the 18x8.5s The color is great. How do you like the progress rsb? I noticed a HUGE difference coming from the stock 5at RSB.
