Fantastic brake setup. Can't go wrong with those beefy pads.

Thanks Andrew. I believe the pads are a few mm thicker compared to stock caliper but not 100% sure. Ohlins arrive today with my new steering wheel. These overseas vendors ship very quick. I'm not sure why I would want to pay top dollar over here and wait 3-6 months for a container to come in. Unless it's big parts. Toda throttle body should be arriving next month. Can't wait to see that gem

Wheel arrived so I decided to put together a little test fit. Looks great, I'm going to have to experiment with this 325mm. Kind of small, but I'll wait until I get it in the car.

Wheel setup looks awesome. I've had a 320mm wheel and the only time I found it annoying was at parking lot speeds. And to me it just doesn't look as at home as a 350mm wheel.

Where did you get the Type-S button?

Your right Steve. The small wheel looks a bit odd. Swapping a wheel is probably the easiest mod to do. I ordered the button from Japan. New in bag. Theyre out there

FedEx finally delivered one revised set of dfv's. Revalved for 13/12k swift springs for my application
Packaging was top notch and I can't believe how nice these are. I'm happiest about the aluminum shock bodies instead of steel. Can't wait to dial these in. Thinking of going 10mm lower then the recommended setting

Who did you get them revalved through? Those are roughly the rates I want. Been pretty happy with off the shelf ones but I'll eventually go for more.

Revalved right from the ohlins. They did the work and shipped right out
