Glad to hear you heard the same thing about PPF. Looking forward to seeing what numbers you put down after the tune!
My car is fully front ppf’d, but i got the headlights, and front lip kit after so the’ll have to be ppf’d. Have to protect your investment especially if planning on keeping the car you know. This is a car i’m not parting ways with.

totally agree. At the price tags of these cars, you have to.

Had a bit of a late start today, but changed the fronts to the Paragon rotors and Dixcel M pads, and installed the Bonoss 15mm spacers. That fitment with the OEM wheels look so much better now. Will have to do the rears tomorrow.

Curious to hear your opinion on the change in driving dynamics once you install all 4 spacers, especially given all of the other mods you’ve done to your car so far.

So far I can say with just the front 2, the ride just seems a little tighter and more planted and a little smoother with the wider stance. Can't want to see how it feels with all 4.

Well widening only the front will help reduce understeer on a fwd car, so it can be misleading to base your expectation about all 4 on that alone. Either way, I’ll look out for your findings!

It does look a little higher since it was jacked up and the suspension didn't settle, but definitely will be lowering it eventually.

Installed the rear Paragon rotors, Dixcel M Type Pads, the other 15mm wheel spacers and the Wunderladen Rear Caliper Bushings.

Braking with the new setup is great, definitely has a bit more bite and a firmer pedal.

With all 4 spacers installed the car does feel more planted with the wider wheel base. It also seems like with the added mass of the spacers that it may be absorbing more of the bumps on the road, there seems to be a little less harshness when in Sport or +R mode.

Man that looks dope! U should try a de5 with the damn proximity sensors. I bite my nails. Took a while to undo the clips. Luckily had a friend holding the bumper while I fought the clips
Thanks man, i have a vision for this car just trying to unleash everything few mods at a time. 😂 i can only imagine, when i had the FK8, removing that bumper is a nightmare. The amount of clips, just to remove it.
