Varstoen's and rota's look exactly like that but, have lugs that align with the valve stem, rubber valve stems and no back spacing for extended lugs. It's really hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Those look awesome!

As a fellow Texan, I'll need to seek you out in person sometime and admire your car.

Unf. Hello.

Justin, the weight loss helps!! Also the tires. They're probably not your usual super duper sticky UHP tires, right?

You wanna get really crazy, just buy some low rolling resistance tires which are shit through. And some Aero. But the aero part is stupid looking.

You should be able to change directions really well now, stop faster, accelerate better. Just be lighter on your feet overall.

oh, i expected to be lighter on my feet, just i guess i over looked the gas mileage aspect of it.
and I am loving it.
its like a game now to me.
"see if i can get the highest MPG on each drive" game

suspension is too soft.

i remember installing the koni's and one shock was giving me trouble. as in, the damping adjustment seized.
so, I have 3 corners on pretty much full stiff, but that one shock is still stuck on full soft.

which, now, I realize its bad for the car to run different damping settings as one side will not rebound like the other.
so, one tire is getting shredded as I hit dips in freeways.
Ive never hit a pothole, as I avoid them...but dips in freeways like transitions from freeway to bridge to freeway, I rub.

The front looks great. However, the rear should match.

What are your ground to fender measurements?

I really enjoy the rake look. I think the rear is perfect and may raise the front a few millimeters

that's the look i'm going for.
While i love the rear spoiler and window spoiler, I dont think I'm going to add them.

i'll add the aspec kit tho.
type-s rear aspec with type-s side aspec with 04-05 base front aspec.
and probably finish it off with fog lights

but thats about it as i want to keep it "uncluttered"

I'm not sure I had ever seen your car before this thread...

Wheels look great, but I think some sort of Volk sticker would finish them off. And I like your stance on the coils! Just because you have em doesn't mean you need to be slammed.

Looks awesome, Justin! Did you happen to take a head on pic to show the camber (if any)?
