oh and i got the rota subzero 17x 7.5+48 in steel/gray with yokohama avs es100. i payed $1075 (tires already mounted) and if anyone is interested PM about details from where.
i don't think this should be the first mods, or the best if you have a stock car, but if you have an extra 1K i seriously recommend the rims/tires because i was stck with injen and just the tires made the car handel better and it felt like the lowend was better (due to lightweight rims).
Top Setup's address is 653 W. Colfax St. Palatine, IL 60067
The proprietor's name is Charlie Rhyu

It seems everyone thinks that camber adjusters are needed so I ordered them.
Getting really excited now!

That was for a million, not a thousand.

Peter: "If you were a millionaire, you'd do 2 chicks at the same time?"

Leonard: "Damn straight. Always wanted to do that. And I figure if I were a millionaire I could hook that up too. 'Cause chicks dig dudes with money."

Peter: "Well, not all chicks."

Leonard: "Well, the type of chicks that would wanna double up on a dude like me do."

Peter: "Good point."

The truth is my nephew and his partners highly recommended going with this shop. As for what the shop specializes in, I think they're an all around shop. The owner, Charlie Rhyu, supposedly does excellent work.
I will definitely inform everyone how my experience goes with Top Setup. I'm not worried it though because the upgrades I'm doing are fairly simple. If it was work on internals, then I would definitely be very careful.

That's pretty mild..

One could probably attain that by just getting the stock FW milled and drilled.

5 lbs of rotating mass is a pretty big savings. The Exedy one that was in the ol' RSX saved 6 lbs. Also, the price is just a retail listing. You can definately get it for less through a few sources.

I'm the difference would be noticeable, but my UR had -11lbs on my F22 Accord 95, and it was far from being the lightest around. I really loved it's effect though.

Maybe the F engine had a much heavier FW than the K engine.

Tomorrow's the day! I'm bringing the car to the shop at 9:00am. I already took pictures tonight so I can compare after the springs have been installed. I'll update with pictures tomorrow (Saturday).
