Default riboflavin's Chicane Silver Metallic tc. Gone but not forgotten

08' setup

18x9 Rota G-force +25 (effective offset) all around wrapped in 235/40/18 tires.









Suspension: Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers 14kg/9kg with revised solid rear shocks.
Camber: -1.5 in front -3.2 in rear
Front fenders rolled and pulled
Rear fenders shaved and pulled
extra cutting on front and rear bumper brackets


09' look

okay, so after 4months of a longgggggggg waiting I finally received my new wheels from Japan 2 weeks ago, then I had to wait for tires and I finally put them on my car a few days ago. I also lowered my car about 3/4 inch all around but I am planning to slam it even more.

my new kicks are

Work VS-XX (XG) 18x10 +23 (effective) all around 3inch lip Front (A-disk) 3.5inch lip Rear (O-disk) wrapped in 225/35/18 ss-595's.

I still gotta get an alignment and dial in right camber and stuff but I will post pix first.

time for pix!

lol btw I think its ironic how I was the first one and didn't read the little P.S at the bottom, sure I am in the 17x7 club, but I like the look of your car when you had Rotas and even more now with the Works.

plan on cambering the front a bit more?

haha it's all good. that message was for one of my friends that loves his stock sized bbs.

I still have to get an alignment so yea I might put some more camber in front but it won't be too much since I have stretched tires. I might get 245/35 tires in the future but I just like the stretched look.

I had almost like -4 camber in front for 3 weeks and it was scary to drive on freeway haha.

Looks amazing! both with the gforces and the vsxx!

haha, I never understood why people hated on rota so much. They're probably the only company that makes replicas that i'd buy. A lot of my suburu and evo friends run rota no problems.

Dude, you love to take punches at me like crazy. I had no problem with you before, but damn, if you really want me to hate you, keep on trying. I sincerely apologize if I've done anything to you before. I just totally don't understand why you have it out for me. I'm really sorry I like function over form.
