I had them in 18s before, I wanted to go smaller and lighter, plus NJ roads suck.

I did, I picked up another in January because I kinda missed it and it was reliable until the piston rings gave up. I had other locals thinking the same believing I never got rid of it.

Probably was, did you have a Mazda MX-6 or something similar? I think you were a Polish kid?

I'm around 75-76k right now. I picked up this one with a Comptech Icebox, axleback, Tokico whites with Tein Springs and a Pioneer Navi unit already installed so I had a head start on my 2nd CL. I have since installed several other parts.

My 1st CL

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-photograph-gallery-53/my-stock-type-s-56k-beware-483003/

It had everything made by Comptech besides the Clutch/Flywheel, mugen cooling mods, D2 Coilovers, Eclipse Head unit, AEM Wideband boost and fuel pressure gauges and some more crap.

18 x 7.5

I went 17's because it'd be easier to hook up and lighter, plus these are an inch Wider then my 1st setup. I just love the look of these wheels and you can't beat 15 pounds flat a wheel.

The 4 pot RL calipers are badass. Are they much different from the 3g TL's?

These are the rotors

http://www.ajusa.com/details/EBC-Bra...q=3.5L%3B+GAS&

And no spacers needed to clear the SSR Wheels. But that is more dependent on the spokes of the wheels.
