Marc runs 3mm in the back. I think you could safely run up to 5mm in the rear without changing for longer studs. I'm lowered too, and the spacers on the front makes it look very aggressive.

Here's a link to the picks.

I was thinking a 5mm in the back but that's not really based on anything. I guess it just depends on what comes up for sale.
The 20mm up front looks good in the pics but i can tell its def something that needs to be seen in person to appreciate. You didn't have any issues when running them?

I was hoping to get the spacers for tomorrow but at this point i'm not to worried. Shoot me a price in a pm when you get a chance so i have an idea on them. I'm in no rush since winters here so i'll just wait till the rite deal comes along. If yours work out then we'll eventually figure out a day to meet up and try em out.
Thanks for your help

If I know Chu, and I think I do, he will insist you take them and and give them a try, and if you want them just give him what you think is fair.. You will get nowhere trying to negotiate with this guy lol

Hahah, that's funny cause its true. I dont want to sell anyone something they end up regretting, so thats how I approach it. I keep telling you Chip, just take them off me and try them to make sure its something you want. I dont care how long you need them for.

BTW, MEgan DP and JIC/Magnaflow Titanium exhaust are sold...lol.

no tune yet. i was talking to chad at cbrd but he's been so flakey, i don't even want to do business with him anymore. how many emails does it take to firm up a date.

2nd Attempt went as such which was similar to 1st attempt.
Me: "what day is good for you?"
CB: "i don't know. what day is good for you?"
Me: "how is next wednesday or wednesday of next week?"
no response.

you're right also about something popping up pete. it is close to the holidays and i no longer have any confidence in myself when it comes to stating my availability, expecially on weekends.

Just to be clear about running Pro class in Autox, you do not have to, it is a personal choice. The last event was non points, so it did not really matter probably why Rolandas was asked to balance out the heats. I hope Rolandas does run Pro, it would be cool to have another BSP Evo in the same class.
Headstuds are illegal for BSP, because they would be on my car if they were legal!

I do not understand why you all are switching from BSP to SM. If you ever get into this for real and travel, you are screwed. BSP is a less prepped class than SM, meaning less $ to get your car prepped to competition levels. Basically everyone local who runs SM usually is just starting out in Autox and ended up in class because there car has a carbon fiber hood or a body kit. There are a few local guys who run SM who are decent, but if everyone had prepped BSP Evo's, it would be a very competitive and fun class (I am saying this because there are like 12 or so peeps on here who run Autox). You guys should stick with BSP, my $.02........................

My car would be challenged if I traveled for BSP anyways. I have a carbon hood, and the front Cusco brace, and evo 9 turbo, and cams/cam gears...so that throws me out of the class if you guys were any stricter in tech...lol. I personally only want to run regionally for now, so I making the move to be in the right class, thats all.

I would just tell him if he can't commit your gonna take your business somewhere else. You have to remember its only a three man team, really only two in the shop.

I agree, BSP is the ish! Who cares if all our cars are illegal.
