Thank you very much for all the compliment.

I slowly put mods on my car in the past 2 yrs cuz it is my daily driver.
I was going to track the car after I got everything done.
but they close 1 of the only 2 tracks in my country right before I finish my last mod,
which is Mugen S1 bucket seat on Mugen rail......
a bit ironic to me... cuz the other track we have is like 6 hours away from me....
wish I have done my car faster.

fortunately, I got lots of curvy road in the mountain near by my place,
so I just use it as my playground in the early morning of every weekend

Looking good How is the non-staggered setup working for you?

First impression was braking improvement,
so much better than 225, even when tire was couple steps down
(Running Dunlop DZ101 now compare to the 225/55/16 AD07 I used to have on stock wheels)

Turning in the corner was much much faster & precise,
but I guess 40 profile tire can take some credit from there.

I thought the rear end would be much easier to break lose
cuz I increase grip a lot on the front but nothing on the rear ( maybe even worse due to the tires),
but after I played on the settings of my adjustable shocks ( Ohlins )
The car feels a lot more well- balanced than it was and it is actually easier for me to push the limit.

BTW I am still using stock sway bars, don't really feel the need of aftermarket ones so far

Advan RS was in my consideration..
I think it looks a bit more aggressive than CE28Nf due to the design on the tip of spoke,
but Advan wheels are made by M.A.T. casting, not forged
MAT casting wheels is very close to forged in terms of light weight and rigidity,but still not as good.

Road quality in my city is like gravel stage in WRC with really bad tarmac on it...
That pushed me to Rays side while price difference wasn't that much between the 2

I like how it looks right now...

used to have Feel's side skirt... but it is like 1" lower than the jacking point.
I kept scratching it while getting in & out my parking in the basement...
so I took it off....
I actually think it looks better without sideskirt.

As for the rear, I think SS bumer looks awkward without SS wing...
but my girlfriend would not allow me to put any spoiler on S...
so I just save the trouble...

Plus.. it is easier to wash and wax the car without those stuff...
