Meat and potatoes set up

Hey everyone....Just thought I’d share my “meat and potatoes” set up:
TEIN Street Advance Z + SPC adjustable camber arms (3 piece set) + XXR 5sumthings (that are discontinued anyways) 18 x 8.75 et38 wrapped in Yokohama Tornante 245/45R18s

The TEIN SAZ are preset with a 1.5” drop from the manufacturers, camber set as close to original as possible. The ride quality so far is VERY comparable to the stock set up (IMO). Nice on mediocre roads, and goes over”normal” potholes and speedbumps with no problem.
Now, don’t get me wrong I am rubbing under certain conditions such as bridge connection areas (driver side rear mostly) or dips at high speed and under heavy load (front passenger and rear driver side only), as well as hard cornering on turns (drivers side rear mostly).
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the current set up based on my driving needs. That being said, my wife HATES the rubbing sound (drives her crazy). The only fix is to have a little more fender work done and/or switch the tire/wheel combo. Too soon to tell.

Are those rear bumper skirts part of the OEM aero kit?

I couldn't find them when I bought mine.

Kinda. They go with the Euro/JDM bumper and won’t fit properly with the US version. I swapped out the bumper and added the skirts when I bought the ‘kit’ from Heeltoe. Hope that helps.

Couple of close ups


Rear fenders are rolled with a slight pull.

Front fenders have NO work done to them at the moment. Probably gonna have them rolled sooner then later.

Thanks! Appreciate the input ✊🏽 I really enjoy this red quite a bit. It has a Wizard of Oz “red ruby slipper” look to it in direct sunlight and darkens up to an Ox blood color when it’s darker out. Anyhoo, here’s a few more pics
