Hey, I'm planing on getting the tony angelo RPF1's like yours, did you have any issues with rubbing and what are you dropped on?

I just ordered the Tony Angelo RPF1's and want to know the same. I haven't ordered tires yet. Not sure what size to get. Tuff choice. I'm lowered on Hotchkiss Springs with 1" drop. I was thinking about 255/35/18 square, but not sure if the front will rub. I did also order SPC front camber bolts. I haven't ordered any rear control arms yet. I don't think the back will be an issue. Now I'm thinking about if 265's will fit. Any feedback will be appreciated.

He obviously had to modify the fenders though, so at least they look like they fit. Everyone else's look like they were jammed in there to fit. Not clean at all.

I still hate the look of his car. What is the purpose of the stickers and yellow head lights? Are stickers required for racing?

Though, I like to think GBS looks better in his pictures than it did when I saw it in person.

Great pictures from Jive Turkey.

I'm running an almost mirror image of his, except mine being an FRS lol.
Anyway, I have 255/35s all around and I have no rubbing issues, I'm on Tarmac 0s. With a decent drop.

Aftermarket wheels always cheapen the look of a car to me.

You were on RCE yellows and com CS' right? Can't be now with that width of tire and low? Looked at your journal "well done btw" but didn't see these pics or notice of suspension change so very curious what you went to etc...

I need to update my thread. I have a LOT of stuff to go on the car however..

As for the suspension, I'm now on RCE Tarmac 2 ClubSport coilovers with 400 lb/in springs all around. Camber is around -2.75F and -2.25R.
