But are you HAs or SS? I have very little movement with the HAs on a stiff setting. I think I am going to rig up an intake saturday cause its killing me not to try out the car.

I have SS, but my height setting is also higher than yours.. You're about an inch lower than I am.. And you should have some give in the rears. You don't want the rears to be rock solid with no give.

And with mine, I only experience it on large / sudden dips, not something gradual.

The wheels are now discontinued. You might find them overstocked or used.

I just drove it around the lot cause I had to move it out of my way. The fronts slightly rub the fender plastic at full lock. Only on the rear section. I may need to make a few adjustments.

Just took it for a quick run to the gas station. Didn't want to push it too much due to the code 54. I am only getting a little rub turning right at full lock. Other than that it seems pretty smooth.

I need to adjust my right front. It is higher than the rest of the car. This may be my solution to the rubbing problem.

Took another quick pic this morning.

I was very surprised how easy the car is to drive with that much rubber. I can see how the power steering dampens the feel of the car. There is almost no resistance. I went on another short trip and even in small parking areas the tires did not add any more effort than I remember.

This might explain why only one wheel has some rub on the under plastic.

the caster from one side to the other is about 15mm different. this is non adjustable and within factory specs. this causes one wheel to sit in a different position relative to the wheel arch than the other.

Just hunting on ebay. I think gtfour77 is selling his set. I thought about trying to find an extra somewhere for just that reason.

Whenever you decide....I think in the mean time I will run the sportmax in the rear with the 275's and then use the new fn01rs's on the front with 315's...it'll be an interesting look... Although I am sure the celi won;t be ready for autocross after he holidays... :doh: Also Josh, I will have a set of nice H&R 15mm spacers for sale once the wheel fitment is confirmed....and also 25mm 5x100 spacers as I will need to go to an adapter from 5x100 to 5x114.3 in the rear.... All these things will be going on ebay after a while...

I will need to go to a 5x114 adapter in the rear myself when the time comes. Already have a 25mm in the rear.

I am not going to do the hub change for a while though. I have too much going on for the next bit.

Going to canada, malaysia, doing an art show, opening up a new store, finishing a web project for a client and fixing that damn code 54. I should be busy for the next bit and extra car projects other than making it run right go on the back burner.
