Going for more aggressive than standard with wheels close to flush. Height will not be too low. Tyres two finger gap from arches.

Alignment settings same as stock. Will get Heasmans to measure car stock, and then reproduce settings with 40mm drop. I don't want to lose the original handling characteristics.
I look forward to your results, as I want the same handling characteristics as original also. I want the work emotion wheels, but want the correct size and offset for original-ish handling.

Thanks for your effort so far, it's been helpful.

keeping the dash working would be the hardest part of the swap. Use an STI 6-speed with RWD spool and you're set
