Im kinda-sorta unofficially lowered.

The coilovers are on the car. But we're waiting for new lower brackets to allow the correct amount of adjustability. Right now the front bracket is bottomed out as far as it will go and the rear is raised as high as it can safely go. And the ass is still sagging Im not too mad about this since I did get the prototype set. So they are raising the knuckle mounting points on the front lower bracket and using a taller "cup" in the rear to allow more adjustability. Supposedly another week

When they do come in, Im just going to pick them up and install them myself. The spring perches in the rear werent set properly (the spring had a solid 1.5" of movement before contacting either the perch or the top hat) so I was able to get a bit more height out of them to attempt to even out the car (but not enough). There were a few bolts that werent torqued to factory specs, so its a good thing I went through the whole car once I got home.

No pics, its hard to even notice the car was lowered. I hope theyre true to their word about the remaining parts only taking a week this time. I need to get the height set to where I want it, then get it aligned, and figure out what spacers I need to run. At the moment its looking like Ill need a 7mm up front and at least a 10mm out back. I might just get different wheels

Because drift car. It is so he can achieve more steering lock which=more sideways.

What? NUE's are sooooo sick. But yes they are more of a style wheel than performance. I love em.

Or he could have gotten LCAs that curve over the tie rods to achieve the same thing

The NUE looks like the T/CL-S five spoke wheel. Im probably biased though, Im not a fan of Rotiform or any of the other form over function wheels. Give me light, strong, and fully forged.

True, but these days those sideways boys are trying to achieve the most opposite lock possible. Have you seen how much lock Mad Mike's FD gets? He literally has backwards entries and pulls it off because of the amount of lock he gets.

I think that's why I like it a lot. I love my 5 spokes but they just need to be an inch bigger, then I would rock those forever. It really has what I don't like about the stock CL wheels, that middle area that I painted black is not there. Yes, I agree, with the Skee-on lighter=better, but pleeeeeassseee if you get new wheels make sure it's not something that's on every other car. (i.e. TE's RPF)

I dont like TEs and the RPF1s are overdone (though I was real close to getting them, just because), so dont worry about that

Or if looking for performance. Wheel weight is important.

There are tons of lightweight wheels out there.

And unfortunately, most people are running TE37 reps, which dont weigh anywhere near as light as real TEs.
