Setrab Oil cooler kit from SBG and SBG front swaybar installed yesterday. Just need to get a stubby wrench to get the AN lines properly tightened on the sandwich plate.

Volk ZE40s are finally here and on the car!

17x9 +61 s2000 fitment. Square setup on 255s. The wheels + tires weigh just 41#, shedding a few lbs off of each corner. Maybe its just in my head, but I felt like I could definitely feel the car accelerating faster on track.

Yes perfectly clears it up and down. The frame does rest gently on it when its down, which I think prevents it from going down maybe the last tiny bit. But overall, zero issue.

How is the rear visibility for daily?

I'm know, I'm looping daily drivability and roll cages/bars in the same sentence. But, if these aren't much of a hindrance for daily, they're going to be a great option!

Its fine on the street. I dont really notice it all that much to be honest. You can see it in the rearview but it doesnt add any blindspots. I refitted as much of the plastics as I could and added NVH is minimal with the top up. This option is nice because you can retain the glove box, and the secret compartment fully opens and closes with no issues.
