    Threw on IX weaves + 20mm spacers + VAC motorsport 43mm extended lugs on Falken Fusion Ziex 205/50/15's


    Not sure if I like it or not. I mean, I do like it, but they don't sit anywhere near flush. I'm not a stance guy but who doesn't like good fitment? With 20mm spacers the rears are still pretty sunk in...
    It's a nice classy OEM+ look, but I might have to move up to 16x8 Style 5's

    If I stay with the IX weaves, I'm going to have Hankook RS3 225's mounted shortly and a RX7 BBK, car should be a nice wolf in sheep's clothing.

    It's incredible how much these new sticky tires brought out the imperfections of my suspension. I thought my suspension was pretty dialed in, good for autocross. Nope. The bald tires I had before didn't nearly produce enough grip to bring out the imperfections of my car. Now I have a decent amount of body roll and my suspension actually feels soft for once!

    Probably going to move up to BC coilovers, 750lbs in the rear and 600lbs in the front.

    On another note, the part of the trailing arm where the sway bar attaches broke. That's what I get for running my sways on the stiffest setting with crusty old trailing arms.

        Nah, I'd need 35mm Adapters to get the rears out to flush, not even close to worth it haha

            35mm spacers wouldn't really be That safe I don't think. Not worth it . Not A bad look but I'm glad I didn't go with IX weaves when a set popped up for sale around here . $200 in spacers later you might as well just buy euro weaves.

            I can't Believe that dent in the fender didn't just pop out. .

              I attached my go-pro to the fender and popped it out via the strong ass suction cup :D
