Are you staying at 19 inch?

What color? I feel like we should discuss these things so we don't meet at the Dragon with twins. Which the more we talk... The more likely it seems, lol.
LOL 18s for me. White wheels for me, so I doubt we’re gonna be twinning that hard. It’s @tuhroo car you gotta worry about. He’s on SW388 rite now

I saw his on YT and messaged him. Just to make sure he is still alive.

What are your thoughts on it so far?

Will you have to quit in order to meet at the Dragon?

Congrats! The car looks great. I’ve got the video in my Watch list.

Lol just give me the word and I’ll be there

Hope to have a ton more done by then

It drives amazing with the springs & Azenis on, handles fantastic and so planted

Car looks great @tuhroo! I watched the full video and it was well done! Considering SW388 or MF10 for my car but it's going to be awhile.

Were you the same person with the rear Eibach spring issues using the FK8 ones? Someone posted a reel where it looked like the springs had been fatigued. I'm probably personally waiting for FL5 specific springs to further improve the ride in all the modes.

Nope, mine is riding great with no issues

The rear on this car might be slightly heavier…the sport lines were temporary anyways

Waiting for KW’s in a few months

I still have a bunch of spoon shit coming

Thanks for the kind words!

I'll probably wait a while for new wheels but I'll either go Gram Light 57CR/DRs or Work Emotion T7R or D9Rs. I'm tempted to go white wheels on Champ White but I hear that keeping white wheels clean is an absolute nightmare so I'm leaning bronze currently.

Ceramic coat the wheels; much easier to clean.

I’m approaching 1k miles now and have barely hit 5k rpm and it feels too fast for the streets.
I had to stop reading here LMFAO. It runs a 13.8-13.9 and has roughly the same acceleration as a Toyota Sienna minivan.
