That's what I went with. It's a bit more aggressive and your tires will wear out a tad bit quicker. Other than that I'm happy with it.

Just get 255's for the back, they will get rid of any fender gap

with the new tires it handles insane

When I go WOT the car vibrates a lot, but I thought it was the tiring rubbing when the car squats, this only started happening when I put the new rims and tires on, I can see where the tire is rubbing, I hope thats whats making the vibration

Those wheels look sick on your Berlina, JoeyBalls! Are they Work Emotion 18's? Didn't know they came in that color.

I may just have to copy that, someday when I have money.

I have recently installed the espelirs as well however for for some odd reason my car is lower in the front on the the right then on the left., I'm talking like one finger gap more. What is the torque specs on the nut tightening the spring on top of the shock? I think this may have to do with it since I think I tightened one more than the other. Thanks
