Thanks for the comments. Yeah I thought of going 10.5 in the rear but wasn't sure what tire size to keep VDC happy. So I just went with this setup. The duct in front is the Varis duct. Yeah just to get some cooler air to the popcharger intake. If I remember correctly I purchased and installed the Popcharger and Varis duct at same time so can't tell you if I felt a difference....but theoretically it should work. LOL. I installed the duct myself. It comes with a template and I just traced the outline with marker and used a dremel to cut the bumper....cuts like butter. Very easy install.
The new bumper I have (INGS +1 N-spec) has a duct formed into it already. I will be selling this OEM bumper once I get the new one painted and installed. I have a couple of local buyers interested in OEM bumper.
I am running Eibach springs so about 1" drop. I don't want to be scraping too much with the new body kit. I think I may go with Tein S-Tech, Hotchkis, or RS*R Ti2000 springs since these spring choices drop the car only about .6" That should help some.

looks good turtle I'm digging the look but we gotta keep a eye on the wheels as these rumors of ALL hiro's cracking got me concerned.
