You can drive it while I'm out. Ultimate street setup, IMO.

Only has ~310mi on it so far, so I can't even imagine what it's going to feel like with a legit tune on it.

I just touched myself. I wonder if I can run that setup on an EVO II when I get to Japan.

I rolled and pulled my fender, but the corner, started to fold inside and created sharp tip. It won't go anywhere anyways, so applying a lot of pressure will only cause problems. I had no choice but to shave it with a dremel, and also had to shave the bolt that holds the bumper to the body right behind the fender.

I also have Robispec clubsport KWv3. After 1st autoX, I noticed that front weels are rubbing half of the fender lip under very hard turns. Had no choice but to roll them as well. They came out good tho.. My spring rates are 8K in the front and 9K in the rear.

Anyways, your car looks sick. Very well done

That's definitely good to know! Especially others that have to roll their fenders locally. I know the section of change in metal that your talking about. I've already taken the dremel to the area and dremelled some of the tab for the bumper bolt. Haven't driven it yet to test clearance. I may still have to relocate the entire bolt. Not sure. Thanks, bro!

That would be awesome! I'm definitely curious about the setup. I didn't realize it was so new to your car. Should be sick after the tune! I probably shouldn't drive it. It'll just make me want to sink another few grand into mine!

CE28's are timeless. dont listen to anyone. I also have them. I have the exact same specs of your rims in the rear of my car. I bet you had fun rolling the fenders to get them to fit! I know i did.

None-the-less, that setup looks clean... very nice car.

I apologize. This was asked a couple times, but I never responded. I don't work for the post office. I just went late at night to one close by to check the wheel weight on their shipping scale.
