Yeah, I think its the two tone that throws it off. Can't go wrong with the RPF1's. I plan on picking up a used set for next season to track my car.

Thanks for the input, I'll have to check them out!

A Quick update, I have just added H&R wheel spacers. Just added 10 MM spacers to the rear. Due to the wheels being pushed out i had to get the wheel arches rolled. After that i was still rubbing over any bump in the road, ended up getting smaller tires. 225/40/18's in the rear. Im really happy with the way it turned out, the wheels are now basically a 18x8.5 w/ +25 offset.

Did a little photo shoot with one of my buddies here in London:

To Come, the car is going to get cleaned up over the winter, im going to turn this into a summer fun car. The paint will be redone and touched up all over the car in area's that are cut up and such. I will be getting the bumper touched up and have the plate removed, carbon fiber hood will be going on and having some major performance mods added soon!

Could you mount the seat or even the recomended Bride Low Max to the stock brackets so you can maintain all the adjustments?

Thanks Man, Ya i get a lot of compliments on them, except for the one comment i've had on here. They are just a temporary set though, looking at either RPF01's, Rajin's or a set of klutch wheels

Ummmm im sure its possible, it would require fabrication. if you look at the bottom of the seat when you take it out you will see its all connected as you can imagine.

I'm running bride low max seats in my car too. But my airbag light is on and seatbelt light is on. How did you manage to get those lights off?

Sup bro, loving the tC! Good color choice, I got a black one too. I was wondering, could you get away with this exact setup, only using a 15mm or even a 12.5mm spacer in the rear without rubbing? I saw you rolled fenders and used 10mm spacers, just curious if you can go any further out without rubbing? I'm about to go low too and want to space my wheels out too. Thanks in advance

hey man, few quick questions, what size rims and offset are you using. i have a 18x8.5 +35 offset. when i put the spacer on i rubbed hard. Got the fenders rolled, still rubbed hard. Ended up having to get a lower profile tire in the rear to stop it rubbing. So dependent on your offset and wheel width you may have to roll. Lemme know your specs

Well I'm not exactly sure how low yet, about 2.75" I'm guesting. I'm installing ksports soon. I just want a little tuck, like tuck just the tread on the tire
