He actually raised the car by 0.3".
Going 16" was not required but surely cheaper then 17"




For my brz I went 205-55-17 on the stock wheel which raised the car a little more



the difference at the end is by how much your speedometer will be affected.

Send a message via MSN to sodjer
Parked it until the streets are sane (or at least until they're not coated in a quarter inch of ice, which might be awhile since we're supposed to get more on Sunday/Monday)



I should buy a car cover...

Felt a little quicker response to throttle input, not super noticable but there. Also hear the intake a bit more than stock. I eliminated the stock sound generator tube as soon as i purchased the car, so I had gotten used to the quite interior. Almost sounds like I have reinstalled the sound generator, but less aggressive sound in cabin.

Got my OFT today! Thanks @Shiv@Openflash! The Stage 2 UEL 93 tune is just what the doctor ordered. Install was painless and quick. Great product, great communication, and great support!

Thanks a lot!

Winter mode engaged! Got too dark, so the photo is terrible, but those are STI V7 wheels.
