Would there be any fender rolling required for this setup:
RPF1 18x9.5 +15
Michelin Super Sport 265/35/18
GTWorx Lowering Spring
GSR Stock Struts

Funny I pretty much installed this exact set up today. Except I have 265 falkens instead. Yes you will need to roll the rears. I'm going to get mine done this week, so far it only rubs on hard turns when the body rolls. Also the front touches a bit on full lock in reverse.

Thanks for the info.

Another follow up question: What kind of handling differences would be between 255 vs 265 ?

I'm thinking should I get 255 instead to get away with the rolling?

For those that got the rpf1 center caps... Did they just pop in? Seems a little tight and I don't want to scratch the finish of the wheels.

Also, you take out the ring inside the center cap before installing, right?

Some say when he isn't lapping the Top gear test track, he shrinks himself down so he can travel around suburbia in the US. All we know is, he's called the Stig.

Are you referring to the hub centric rings? If so, those are supposed to stay in. They keep the weight of the car from stressing the wheel studs..

swing and a miss. This has been beaten to death.

Yes they just pop in. Stiff if new so take the handle of a hammer if rubber and "bump" them in.

How are the H&r coilover? and what are the specs of the springs. I'm thinking about getting them also.

I think they're a great, quality DD coilover. They're 8/7k if I recall correctly. They ride as good if not better than stock in my opinion. I'm gonna try to go to an auto-x school this summer and test them on a track.
