Although the cone is shallower, looks like a fit to me. These are Muteki SR35 lugs.

Progressed to this after three days

Took photo, video and emailed to my service writer. He asked more mileage and ordered the taillight October 1st.

Tail light assembly in stock October 4th.

Installed October 12th. Knock on wood.

I've been test driving the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F/1.4. I think this lens is magical and worthy of the Leica name. What do you think?

More to come.

can you take some pics once the springs settle? I was looking into another RCE install, and they seem to have settled, looks lower. Just want to compare, and see if the overall drive changes after they settle

Height wise, I think my springs have settled as much as they could. I installed them on 10/5 so it's been about two weeks. If you want an easy before/after pic I can pull something up. let me know

Here is the car predrop

21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-01 by VictorN07, on Flickr


21020923-RallyArmorMudGaurd-08 by VictorN07, on Flickr

Two days after. Rear settled in quite nicely. Fills in the gap well. Front not so much, but it is tons better than stock.

20121005-RCEYellow-CuscoLCA-11 by VictorN07, on Flickr


Two weeks after. I can't really tell the difference. I didn't take measurements

Springs make a noticeable different. The biggest one for me is that the car feels flatter in the corners. I don't like body roll.
