I do like the stance, wheels and whole aggressive look of the car... but, make like Pacman and go clean. Lose the stickers.

fair play to you mate... i love the look of the car and i love stance and will be going that way myself soon.

you'll always have the problem of upsetting the purists. i know i will when i post pics of mine with bonnet spacers. lol. but that im really not too sure about myself.

love the car and your vision. keep up the good work!

Personally I really like the look, what is the tyre wear like though. I assume that the insides wear down really quickly???

Whats the cost of setting it up like this?

No insane tyre wear fella, toe is what scrubs tyres and makes them wear at a quicker rate if it's out of tolerence. Obviously the inner of my tyre will be contacting the road a little more than the outer but nothing substantial. Will still see 10k out the tyres i believe.

There was a thread about tyre wear on the american side of the forum and people with - 3 and -4 etc were still seeing over 10k some 15k + amazingly with pretty even wear.

Cost is mainly wheels, coilovers, driveshaft spacers and a whole lot of time sorting the archs, bumper bracket trimming the bumper etc
