no

and not really the best course to test out the paddles either, which I was sad about. I will still be hounding my local stealerships for an opportunity to test drive as soon as they get some cars in. lol

Thanks for the pics, but shouldn't this be in the FR-S subforum?

Agree with hamsammich, but still, they are nice pictures.

As a general thought: what car doesn't look good with RPF1 on it? I swear, it's just about the perfect rim!

Do we know the size and offset of the rims?

The RPF1 yokahama had the springs? That stance looks good to me, what were the wheel specs?

I can't view the pictures at work but didn't they use PF01 instead of RPF1 at the event?

Some cars had PF01s, some had RPF1s.

Try driving it over some broken pavement before springing for a dropped/stiffer suspension. The reviews are indicating it's already at the margin for usability as a dd at its current stiffness level (at least the FR-S version). Personally I am not after a kidney crusher.

Thanks for sharing! Was this event a special invite or open to the public?

Cool, thanks.

I'm at huge fan of RPF1s and was thinking about getting them for this car, but I actually think the PF01s look better here.

It was a public event I saw a post on this forum about it a day before and signed up. Not very many people there at all. I was happily surprised

I have some videos to post as well from inside the car, nothing special but i know if your like me you will watch any video of the car just for one more thing to watch

Personally this car is going to fulfill exactly what im looking for in a car and im more then mentally ready to buy now just working on the financial end lol. Getting married in a month soooooo, i might be waiting a few months but its on the list and already have the ladies approval!
