Aprox: $1800


Not sure if you get them in the US, special import from Work Factory in Japan through a local customiser here in SA.

I'm sure if you lowered your evo and added some tire shine, they would look sooooo much nicer.

I have a set of Tein S-Techs will try and get them installed next weekend...

Ja I know it hasn't been washed in 2weeks, and been through a few puddles - so Sunday I will give it a wash and polish...

I think the back ride height looks ok, but the front could be dropped a bit.

don't use the s-techs. my buddy used them and blew his front struts. you will also rub with a 19'' wheel on s-techs.

Agreed, too big... and would look more appropriate with lowering springs. However - its all in the eye of the beholder...

Oversized, but very nice. I wish the roads in Nebraska were half as nice as ZA's.

just be sure to maintain a 1" positive rake when you drop

Not feeling them at all...they look so similar to Motegi or American Racing wheels you'd see in Pepboys or NTB or something .

thanks guys

I'm gona fit the APR front spoiler - so I'm thinking maybe its best not to drop it...

Plus I think with the +30 offset it might catch at the rear.


regards
Sal

ps. oh yeah and I'm gona run 245/45/17 Semi-Slicks on my stock Rims... (after I get them painted Bronze)
