Looks great! How are you liking the Fortune coilovers ? I recently ordered the 510's w/Swift spring and Roller Bearing upgrades

How long did your order take ? I know these things are made to order

Good to know! I was originally going with the 500's, but wanted the color scheme found on the 510's, so I opted for them instead

Are your tails vinyl or painted??

I'll bet the 225/245 setup handles like a dream along with being lowered? Do have a STB installed on your car?

I have spent the last few days dialing in the ride height, I am a pro at spinning the coilovers up and down now. I've got my eyes on the Password:JDM STB, haven't decided yet.

I ordered the same wheel on november and did not received them yet.

I have 225/245 too. Hankook ventus v12 and I will be dropped on eibach sportline wich drop 1.4 inch.

Did you adjust your camber ? Do you have any rubbing issue? Is your offset +44 front and +38 rear?

Anyone know the weight of these?

Also, anyone running spacers? I'm thinking 44mm offset is a bit steep - was thinking of running my H&R 20mm spacers in the back for more poke.
