Pretty clean, almost the same size as mine except for the offset. Definitely, we both need to drop ours, but your front fenders would need to be rolled though.

Front doesn't need rolled for that...rear might.

you will definitely need to roll your rears, maybe a slight pull. ET 22 is a pretty aggressive offset, What size Tires are you going to be Running?

Im also on Tein S-Techs and im pretty sure my struts are getting close to blown as my ride is bouncy right now. You think that would be a problem? Thanks.

Not sure on the tires, id probably run whatever I need to make it work, but then again +22 is quite agressive.

S techs have a lower drop in the front; your car has a higher front... time to pre-load again

While I'm waiting for some new coilovers to come in, I thought I might as well go back to being truly flush in the meantime.

Added some spacers, dropped it a bit, and fudged with the camber/toe a bit. Final result is 18x10.5 ET15 up front, 18x10.5 ET13 in the rear, 265/35 all around.

Tilt your car could be a dirty black hoe and i'd still pay to bang her...

Curious as to where you got that filler for the license plate holder? Looks Uber JDM tight

I have that same piece for my car for the license plate, going to get some help from my body shop guy and mount it so it won't rattle when my sub is playing
10.5 is nuts, looks awesome though.

I've seen pictures of your car numerous times, and people might have asked you this, but where were you able to get that bezel cover for your rear license plate? I would like to have one...
