Ordered Konig Hypergrams Bronze 17x8 +40. I will just switch the 225/45-17 Yokohama Advan tires already on the stock rims. Stock rims will be used in winter with snow tires. Excited to see the difference. I will post the pictures

I find someone with a heavy duty truck to move that barricade so you can run on initial d style without worrying about incoming traffic

Went for a fun Sunday drive. Picked up some salmon sashimi so I can make homemade sushi. :D

I was a little worried about rubbing or poking with the 245 on +35 x9, but I think I've found the perfect balance of camber and height for the 245/40r17 at 1.1 inch drop and 2.1 neg camber up front and 1.8 up back.

Really happy with how the car is sitting now. Still perfectly functional and can get up driveways and over bumps, but handles like a go kart and looks low.

I'm not worried about road debris. Anything big enough to break the radiator would have been plenty big enough to smash through the grill anyway. It came out surprisingly easy.

It makes a big difference in how the front end looks. It gives the front end some depth.

I can free up the grille along the bottom & up the sides, but not across the top.
How did you manage it please?

installed my sportlines today, corners MUCH flatter and i can take some turns up to 20kph faster than before without really getting into it. Ride is slightly stiffer but far from uncomfortable I won't go into depth cuz its the same as other members reviews :thumbsup: it took me way to long to get these on as everything was seized up thanks to our lovely canadian winters and road salt, took me about 3 hours, would've been easier on a hoist and more rom in the garage. Im waiting for the springs to settle before i take and post a pic :thumbup:

I really did just pop it out (just pushed on the grill). Maybe it was extra easy because my bumper was recently replaced and I assume they re-used the grill. I also had no Styrofoam in there either so maybe that's in the way for you?

I love mine I'm sure you will too. I went with the same size. Also made sure the Hankook Evo tires I got were light hopefully those Yokohama's are for you. You will feel the difference in the acceleration.

Looks great! I can't wait to try driving with those wheels. What is your tire size?

got my sportlines installed, I'm pretty sure they've settled by now its been 4 days. Ride is good, slightly stiffer but very comfortable and the height is perfect, it closes up the wheel gap without making it impossible to drive over moderate bumps. best $350 I've spent on this car by far :happyanim: photoshoot will come soon :eyebulge:

Really like what you did with the black sections. It all flows so nicly with the lines. Is that wrap, plastidip or actually painted?
