$1500 would be much harder to swallow for sure. I agree that the coilovers available in that pricepoint are skippable too, but I could see many folks choosing that route if that's what these springs end up at once they get here.
They're listed at about $800 for Japanese customers, but we will...
I'd argue that any coilover option anywhere near $800 is something worth skipping.
Swift Spec Rs go for about $500 and these give the same maximum drop, some height adjustability, and built-in camber plates. JDM brand clout or not, this is a great OEM+ option for these cars.
At the very least...
Hey everyone, just jumping in here real quick.
It looks like @SlowAP2 does in fact have EC-7s which will clear the OEM brakes in the 18x9.5" ET58.
The ARC-8 in that same size require 10-12mm spacers to clear, so we don't list or recommend them for these cars, especially if you're trying to...

If you want a super simple open-ended lug nut, our race lugs are a fantastic cost-effective option for aftermarket wheels.

Love how good this looks!
We actually would love some more on-car photography of this fitment for the site, so if you'd like to share some more photos with the class, go ahead and send them in at this link here - Apex Customer Photo Submission Form
Thanks for all the kind words! I definitely feel like our wheels have a lot of subtle indicators of quality that you might not notice at first glance, but definitely stand out during that first unboxing.
For 19s with SM-10RS, I generally recommend the 19x10.5" ET45. If your car only has lowering springs, then you'll want to do a 275/30-19 tire as the slight stretch will help provide a bit more fender clearance.
Otherwise, if you don't like any stretch at all you'll need to consider at least a...
That's a pretty broad question that's a little difficult to answer without more information. Offset is only one part of a wheel fitment equation, so it's tough to give a flat recommendation.
