also, with your rpf1s did they come with or did you need extended studs with the 20mm spacer (assuming yes)?
Robi's bar is great, there softest setting is as stiff as the Progress 25mm bars' stiffest setting, and the 3rd setting is stiffer than Progresses' stiffest setting 27mm bar. I was told that most people run on the second setting, and thats what I have it set on. I plan on moving up as I feel is needed, but I dont think I will ever hit the 4th setting. There's no traction when the wheel isn't touching the ground, no matter how cool that looks. I got the Perrin adjustable endlinks. You don't need them but I knew Mitsu prolly didn't have them in stock, so I bought them. I can help with your install when you get one. The neutral feeling is great, it just turns. I think I will return it to the softer setting during the winter though.

As for my wheels, I had the Project Kics, which had the studs on them. However, I would recommend you to get some custom ones made so they are hubcentric so you will had some steering wobble. You will need the APR studs, but it'll be all worth it!

I know there's some Asian guy that rolls around lansdale with a TB Evo with VII tails. You could almost mistake it for mine from a roll. I believe he has two trunk lids because sometimes I see him wingless and sometimes winged.

Oh by the way, it's Tuesday so I was wondering when everyone was meeting at Oaks again? I know it's once a month but don't know if it's the same week of every month.

I vote for the sway bar first! Cheaper than wheels, and you will grin ear to ear!
