Thank you! They were amazing, tons of grip. I definitely reached my comfort limit before the tires reach their limit. Unfortunately soon as I got back home to the city I got in a small fender bender so the FRS needs a new hood and bumper now

Not exactly today, two days ago. Installed Tein Flex Z. I may raise it up a tiny bit but I like where she sits.

Wow she's sitting LOW! Do you know how much you lowered it by or did you slap the coilovers on and that was the base drop?

Thanks I have been looking for wheels for months before I bought the car. I may hold off a bit since I got the stockers looking good. Money used for UEL headers and tuner instead.

The rear is maxed out. The fronts can go maybe another half inch. In a couple weeks I will probably raise the rear 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. I dont think I will have to touch the front but Ill see how it goes.

Added another coat of Liquid Glass (2 more to go) and trying to figure out hot to make a symmetrical template so I can apply black vinyl to the center part of the lower front bumper (since the front bumper garnish is ridiculously over priced for a thin piece of JDM plastic).

Use knifeless tape for the vinyl. Its easy and gives you an accurate cut.
