I was thinking about getting those RT-615's. Why do you not like them?? are they the 255x40x17's? do they not grip or corner well?

Keep up the nice work.....looks great.


they grip and corner great. i like them a lot more than the stock advans. what i don't like is that falken doesn't make the size we need. these are 245/45/17 when we need 235/45/17... so it's too tall, and too wide. under hard corners i rub in the back, and the front. but, i stiffened up the damper settings one click front and rear to reduce the compression to try and help the problem and that seems to have worked for now. but it's still a pain in the *** to have to settle for the closest size instead of them just making the size we need.

Nice! Awesome GG Evo. Good choice on the RA, has more use, roomier than the Si.

Thank you for that info. I heard that they make a 255/40/17. Do you think that would be better??

i WISH my wing was all CF like the 8's, because if it was, i'd have already stripped it down. that would look badass with the trunk/hood/roof/vg/ralliart lip/black rear diffuser combo

the hood doesnt exactly line up either- thats the only problem with cf-no matter what make it is- it never fits as good as stock- and if you dont clear coat - it always yellows-and then it looks like poop.and as for the cf hood weighing less than the alum.factory hood- sorry dont believe it.

--easy way to keep the bbs wheels clean -wax them.
Never wax rims!!! It creates tiny scratches on the surface. The waxing process only appears to make them less likely to collect brake dust, but after a few weeks and the wax has worn due to the elements. They will only collect dust faster, and faster... I did this, and man what mistake! But hey, thats how you learn... right?

It's a shame you can't see the hilarity in it, ignorance is bliss. You gave me a great idea mentioning a t-shirt. I think a shirt with this pic would sell huge on evom, of course you'd get a cut of the profits, interested?
