The first pic was before I installed the Tein S Tech. All the other pics are after. Huge difference in appearance in my opinion.

No offense but those tires look like they belong on a truck.

Why did you do so many aftermarket upgrades?

Nice shoes. I've had several sets of BFG z-rated tires over the years and they're hard to beat for traction and price. Never had a set get near 20,000 miles but who cares.

Very, very nice -- nothing says "all business" like SSR Comps. I assume you went through Tire Rack for the tires/wheels.

Please post specs: width, offset, tire size (stock? or did you go 245?) How did they work the issue of the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)?

The debate over AT vs Manual has been done over and over, if you want to further bash the AT owners, go to those threads. Personally I own an AT also, simply because I'm too lazy to go with Manual. It's all a matter of preference... Everything? I guess, since we did all save about $800-1000 to add to mods.

What kind of question is that? He wanted to change some things, let him... who cares.

It has nothing to do with his tire choice, so drop it.

Are the SSR Competitions the same as the SSR Type C on the speedstar.co.jp website? I really like them in white, but all the Competitions I've seen are metal colored. The type C come in white. Any guesses?
