As long as the front and rear tires have the same or very close overall diameter then your its ok to run staggered. From my experience these tire sizes has similar diameter. It also can depend on brand as well.

225/35 and 255/30

235/35 and 265/30

245/35 and 275/30

yes

yes

and

YES.

Love how you finally stepped up your fitment game. I was pretty sure those RL's could jam some nice sizes under there...but 11.5...wow, impressive. What are the offsets, if you don't mind me asking?

That's pure simplicity perfection right there.

Hello Ambiguous626,

For the the JDM headlight, where did you buy the socket for the Turn signal/Parking? Apparently, the stock socket won't fit the with the JDM? I bought a used set from Japan, and they did come with the JDM sockets.

For the Tein CST, I just read your post the the stanceworks forum, and you mentioned that you might go with the air runner system to lower your car further more. If that a case, I am willing to buy the TEIN CST from you, if you decide to sell.

Thanks,

I bought the JDM Headlights from Jzsinternational. His name is Taba and he's from Japan. He can pretty much get most the JDM parts. If you are going to order this set, make sure they come with the turn signal/parking sockets.

His email: tabakyonjp@yahoo.co.jp


His ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Combine-Ship-...n-to-Worldwide

His Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/index.php?lh...sinternational

Glad Taba was able to help you out... He's a real help when it comes to rare JDM parts from Japan. For the headlight, I was too impatient to order some JDM bulbs so I just carefully cut it to fit the stock sockets. Had it for over 3 years now with no problems. Air runner was going to sponsor my RL but after having my RL at the shop for test fitments, they said it was impossible safely fit an air bag set up in the rear due to not enough clearance. =( I'm currently looking into getting custom made springs for my Teins coilovers to go lower. Found a company to do it just need to get some measurements.

Thanks for your help to get those headlight. I just contacted Taba to look for those sockets for me. I may get them from him, because I already installed my headlights, and I don't want to take them off and put them back on again.
I also want to order the TEIN CST, but it takes around 2 months to to get it, beacuse they are special order from Japan. I thought if you are going to let yours go, I might pick up from you instead (I am inpatient as well). Oh well, I may have to wait for 2 months then. :-(

Thanks for your help again.

Let me know what spring setup you are going to get. I might want to lower my some more as well. I took out my body kit. Pain in the ass driving it with all the scraping left and right even my car wasn't lowered that much back then >_<.

Thank You

i always check into this thread every few weeks for the past 2 years...

absolutely love the RL. saw you selling the T1S a few months ago, thought you were ditching the KB1... glad you stayed!

those rotoras are madness. i like your car more than Touge's.. but i do feel you need the Mugen body kit, or at least a-spec



...waiting for official photo shoot pics

Little Updated ^____^

Was a little bored Friday morning so I decided to stop by a local muffler shop to have them fabricate me this:

"Iphone Pix"







It's not as nice as the jpipe made by ATLP "sorry couldn't wait" but it was cheap and will have to do for now.

Here's a video of how it sounds with my 5zigen Fireball Mega Exhaust:
"Watch it in HD" ^____^
