Just got my Hankook RS4 + Apex EC7s installed. Love the look :)

Also here is a picture of my alignment. So Im assuming everything is good. Looks like some stuff was out of spec before. That's was probably from going off track and hitting stuff. My OEM wheels actually are banged up pretty good lol.

HUGE step up. More grip but above they won't disintegrate in a few sessions

I can see the difference in the sidewall now, theres alot more space thats filled with rubber thats inbetween the wheel and tire vs what's on the PS4S. Probably why people say to downsize wheels.

one of the many reasons, in addition, cheaper tire replacement, more size availability

did you pull the pins?

No, I wasnt able to get the chance to run to home depot and do whatever that guy did in the video. I got caught up with other stuff. I'll work on doing that next weekend though.

You'll need an alignment after. If you don't plan too, then I would just send it as is

Get the collars and balljoints with alignment done local. Intercooler and radiator with help definitely do able at the track.
Hpfp and injectors then a tune probably not worth the day your going to lose.

I'd love the help, but I am def not doing this at the track that sounds miserable lol. Maybe intercooler. I hope to have my radiator in next month :thumbsup:

you're not alone! i try to give myself a week buffer at minimum for adding parts.

Brake bleeds and brake pads are exempted and I usually do those between a weekend and the day before.
