Finally got my new HID kit installed and did some adjusting. Still need to adjust the height but the cut off is amazing for these not being retro fitted. Good job spyder! [

Changed rotors (OEM Subaru) and brake pads (TRD). Adjusted parking brake.

Thanks, I looked at the RPF1s side by side wjth the OZs they both weigh 15.8lbs. I felt that black was too dark against the yellow and the silver was too pale. Also the OZs have a built in hub-centric adaptor that snaps into the wheel and they come with the center cap so that closed the deal. My main focus was getting the lightest wheel I could afford. 18s would probably look better but 17s are lighter and should perform better.

They are actually more charcoal than the pics.

There are only a couple people on here who could handle the math.

Looks like you will get about 15% better cooling. Can you confirm that?

I didn't take a baseline but it sounds about right.

I would say about 15.628% since the bend actually diverts airflow down as well as not block the rad. Would probably feel a huge difference in the weight distribution if he changed those steel plate bolts to plastic.

In addition, one could achieve additional weight savings and air flow to the radiator, by drilling holes in that solid plastic panel on either side of the license plate ....

Of course! I can immediately feel the difference in over steer as I make my 10mph turns in busy traffic.

Obviously a typo and I meant 100. I can certainly tell the difference.
