The front doesn't bulge and look out of place like it normally does with a non-staggered set up.

I'm to lazy to go find the original pictures, but I've attached a screenshot from my Instagram. It's not perfect but it gives you an idea of how much room you gain. Keep in mind the angle is slightly off, and the camber hasn't been adjusted. It's just a direct before install and after install picture.

Edit: For Reference the least amount of negative camber I could get in the front after the install is -1.5 which is not a problem at all.
Thanks this helps alot! Yeah I was looking at the ball joints strictly for fitment purposes but it looks lile these bushings are exactly what I need.

17x9 +45 with 255/40R17 Falken Azenis RT615K+. Front offset bushings help a lot with fender clearance.

I have a completely stock S2000 in red and would love to get the RPF1's without altering the car in any way. I also am looking to go with the same size wheels and tires on all 4. Would I be looking at going 17x8 +45 all around with 225/45/17's? I believe the previous S2000 I had was running that size tire but I'm having a hard time remembering. I'm not looking to camber out my car or do anything other than a possible 1-2" lower. (Not sure yet on the lowering)

Any help is greatly appreciated. I was thinking of going with what looks like the chrome.

Does anyone have pics of SBC on a white S2000?

I'm trying to choose between SBC and silver
