That's one of the reasons why I decided to go with these wheels. White wheels are already really hard to keep clean and a multi spoke one would probably drive me crazy since I'm a little too obsessed with having a clean car. I love your wheels though!

^^ what he said but with Plastidip. The first time I saw it like that was on my friend's Hyperblue series, which also comes with black rear badges in stock form. I've since replaced my silver badges with the black ones as well.

Oof. Let's see. Took it out for a drive - a bit nerve-wracking because it's the first drive since I did an alignment, but also the first drive on the new coilovers - they feel nearly as stiff despite being much lower rates than the old set, but I was running competition settings, didn't try running them softer. I suspect it'll be nicer. Discovered a clunk. Car drives nice and straight so can't have messed up the alignment too badly

Did an oil change when I got home and bled the brakes (I HATE bleeding brakes, I always seem to make such a huge mess). Fixed (I hope) the clunk (as expected, front sway bar...) Installed a catch can - we'll see if it's worthwhile. Checking over the car getting ready for the AutoX season. Got ARP extended studs installed on one corner, gotta do the other front tomorrow and think about whether to bother with the rear right now (rear will not get the extended studs - front only did so I can run the stock spare with spacers... just in case... which is why I want it done sooner.)

Still have to find a place that'll swap the tires for me, get the other front ARP studs installed... um. I might actually be nearly ready for the season. That probably means I'll screw something up tomorrow.

Nice! What coil overs did you go with? Just got Fortune Auto 500s installed over the weekend as well, with whiteline sways front and back

I now have a shiny setup from RaceComp Engineering with Raceseng tophats/camber plates. Still have stock rear sway (not going stiffer unless I can't get what I want in roll stiffness out of springs) but a Strano front.

Cool man, iv hears great things about RCE products. What class are you running for AUTOX? Did you do STX previously?
