Sneak Peek - Test Fitting TE37s & Yoko A048s (pics)
I ordered black valve stems, black lug nuts, and flat center caps which should arrive soon. Then, I can mount the tires and test fit on the front.
The wheels are 16x7 +33 and the tires are 225/45-16. The A048s are the widest tire I've seen in this size, so I may have to use spacers or widen the fenders to fit them on the front.
The JIC Magic suspension is also visible above the wheel.
I'll post better pics when I make some more progress.

Right out of the box I set the fronts and rears to 10 (out of 15). The ride is VERY firm. The JIC Magic setup uses a stiffer spring rate than others, that's why I chose it.
The JIC Magic setup won't slam the car, either, which is good. I'm trying to build an xA for autocross/track, not show - so I need something functional.

I still have to find 2 more Ray's Black Valve Stems.
I'll be taking my OEM wheels to the Powdercoater soon. I got a set of Yoko AVS ES100s to thrash on the street (205/55-15).
I'm currently looking for the most aggressive anti-sway bars available.
