kW and Nm aren't conventional for Americans I'd be willing to bet that 90% of Americans have never even heard the terms Kilowatt (In regards to a car) or Newton meter. It's all just where you live and what you prefer to measure power output in.
I think the conversion for ps to bhp is something like .987, so 258ps is roughly equal to 255bhp. The two measures are virtually interchangeable.
And from PS to kW I think is like .73, so 258ps equals roughly 189kW.
Personally, I prefer good 'ol bhp :happy0180:

I haven't been looking, but that's the first kit that's made me stop and look twice. I'm not a body kit guy, and to be honest, I don't think the 86 triplets really need one, the lines are beautiful on their own... but all that aside....

DAAYYYUUMMM THAT'S HAWTTTT!!!!

Its looks nice, but I'll wait for the real pictures to decide if I'm really digging that style.

Agreed, want to see how it turns out. One of the nicer aggressive kits, skip the wheels though. Damn dual exhaust 4cyl

Front bumper looks 90s Civic body kit. And the entire, drop so low you can't drive it look is getting me annoyed.
