Heck yeah! I still have mine on (I've been lazy). They're addicting as a daily tire, much more fun than the Star Specs were.

Probably going for another tortilla flats run tomorrow. Will be leaving tempe around 7am so will probably get in the area around 7:20 if anyone is interested. My buddy with an Audi TT will be joining, and possibly another with a Camaro. Let me know if you are interested and we can pick a meet up spot

No not on stock wheels. I have a set of xxr 527 18x8.75 that have 225/40 tires. I think a 215 will be too much of a stretch for my liking so I'm thinking staying the same just doing some fender work if needed

Also this is what @thesleeper looks like giving directions

And this is what @Sivtec looks like when he is lost lol
In all fairness that track setup was terrible lol

I really like how my rear looks right now but im going to guess that i wont win and ill have to raise it haha. I just hate the wheel offset!!

I was going to go to network alignment as they do free check & then i think its 10$ extra for lowered cars and its not terribly expensive. I was going to do this so i could get it checked and then go home and adjust my rear to get hopefully close to 1.5-2 degrees negative camber. (depending on the toe in).

But then i realized toyota near me has an alignment rack and my friend works there so I am going to just set an appointment there.
I have my dampening set at 18 I believe and I had it set at 24 but felt that it was much softer. And i know we cant do anything to the rear until we get LCA's in which ill be purchasing the Whitlines once they come out. I love the yellow they choose to go with. But it is taking forever for them to come out or they might be out now, havent checked in awhile. But yeah i was gonna wait until the sag settles to do any more lowering in the front. i would like not to mess with the fenders (roll, push out.). But i do like the Siebon 10mm extended front fenders cause in my opinion they will mess with the rears a lot better.

I want to say im ballpark around 22-26 front, 12-16 rear on mine. The car feels so much more stable now than the factory setup. I just really need to fix my front toe my steering feels sluggish right now. Hopefully I can get that fixed up this week! I also think I was mid 20's at first but the bumps out on the flats were causing too much skipping. That and I like my spine. lol I actually almost went slightly softer on the spring rate than the pre-packaged.

PM me once you figure out a date to go and get your toe checked out cause i wouldnt mind touching that up also. I dont want too much toe where it will just straight ruin tire tread if ya know what i mean. But yeah i got fronts set at 24 from what i remember. And i might check out 16 in the rears now that you said it. I love how 18 feels but will def try 16
