Looks really good. Though not a huge fan of the 215's on the front. I think it's too stretched. Sadly this is what the dealer ordered for me too.....

Looks like maybe 235 on front and 255 on rear is best (for me).

Nice Twiggyb!

Yikes! That's the front tire they give us? Is it because wheel offsets they can't put anything wider on there?

digital_assassin · 07-25-2012, 11:26 PM

Are you waiting for springs too?

Twiggyb · 07-25-2012, 11:33 PM

No, I was going to, but I think I'd like to do something different than TRD. I got all the upgrade options before with the tC and I realized I could do it cheaper and get it lower than what the TRD springs gave me.

Ah. I'm gonna keep people on here that don't do the mild drop offered with the complete 5:AD kit because I think only a small percentage of us will be forced to take the H Techs. I don't want to be alone in here . On that note I think they are only going to badge "complete" packages from 5:AD according to Matt. I personally didn't want the springs but the dealer wouldn't budge on making me purchase them. Don't know if they'll ever be installed though.

No wheels yet, coming soon.

I opted out of the springs because they aren't Five Axis and I wanted a lower drop. Hopefully I'll still get the badges, I mean I'm buying EVERYTHING that is Five Axis branded. Full kit, wheels, lip, everything.

Car is looking f*ing bad ass! Now black out the headlights, it'll look awesome and blend with the other black accents of the car.

And I totally feel you on the springs. 1" is a very mild drop. I hope they hook up those that didn't get the springs but got everything else with some badges.

I'm gonna get the lowest drop spring unless the gap is eliminated by a spring less than that. I will NOT have wheel gap

Please don't ricer mod and black out the headlights...

That looks like how my FR-S would. Whiteout +5:AD kit, although I would consider the TRD rear, so dope.

What wheels?

Nope not blacking out the headlights, trying to keep this car looking 100% fresh. Five AD S5:F wheels in gunmetal 19" staggered.

Synack · 07-27-2012, 03:47 PM
