LOL - the factory stock setup looked like a lift kit - Way too much wheel gap for me. All I need now are the RP03's with 615 rubber and the AFSC...

So, can anyone photoshop those pics in VRed? Dropping the 8 makes it look a lot more exotic, for some reason.

I don't want to spoil your thread but I got the KW Variant 3 coilovers.

Heard bad thing about service on several forums.

Congrats, I'm sure we are in the same league........

Now, only need to take vacation in March to drive to Road Alanta.

These are the full Zeal Function-X coilovers - the ride is awesome, but my wife thinks it is too stiff. The backroads up and around the South foothills of the Olympic Mountains are a lot of fun. In fact, the car is so stable around the sweepers, that now I have reached the limit of my seatbelt and drivers seat...

By the way I had mine setup to be level straight across.

It's 25" too.

Kinda sucks you hav to look at a four point harness now.

I wonder if it's that easy to swap out the seat for a recaro every track day.

Gotta have the nice cushy leather seat on the street.
