I don't know why the Mid-A Z/G community is all about the wider tires. I'm actually in the process of getting smaller tires. Understeering from wider tires FTL!!!!

My plan...
- Roll fenders
- Lower from 255/35/19, 285/35/19 to 235/35/19, 275/35/19
- Get 20mm wheel spacers for all around
- Lower for another 0.5"
- Change from factory camber spec to slight negative like -2 or so

Now that's JDM!

ok the JDM thing was my way to hide my cheapness.. obviously down sizing means less money on tires. Plus I can claim that "I'm going for the drifter look"

Eg hatch w/ k series motor all day. Slap a turbo kit on it and then you’re really having some fun. Everything can be found relatively cheap.

Random. K series aren't really cheap well a K24 or a K20Z3(si motor) can be but the only K series I really like is the K20A from the type S or the integra type r motor, those cost a grip still.

Yea I'd go with the K20A. It would probably be the most expensive part of the car. I still wouldn't mind having my 05 Type S back to play around with.

When in doubt just buy some GT Spec braces they are inexpensive, give you better handleing and they look really good from behind. (i.e. rear lateral arm bar and rear tie bar)
