Interesting... 40 wall square looks better than I expected.

It looks better, but I had to raise the front up due to the tire hitting the outer most fender bolt causing a nice cut line into the tire. Also got to add probably .5 more negative camber to help clear as well when I compete in SCCA. If I had to do it again tho, 285/35 next time. Rears clear perfect though but I"m going to raise 1/2 inch and add a little camber just to be clear for cornering

Welp......finally started the autocross season here in hawaii.....with a 3rd place finish in SSM class on street tires. The top 2 were on Hoosier similar (boosted s2k and NA s2k). Finishing time was 50.1 while the top two was 47-48 respectively. Still tuning and building, but here are the pic's and the fastest lap vid. Enjoy!

Been lazy to edit the last two runs, plus work has been busy so the editing part has been on the back board. Destroyed a tire during auto-x so had to buy a new one. Maybe next year i'll have more updates

It seems everyone is busy lately. Btw, what size Enkei's are you running? I don't hink Volks or Advans would be a good choice here in AZ due to all the rocks and debris. I'd rather have a wheel that I won't have to worry too much about. I'm leaning towards the RPF1's or the RS05RR's. Any recommendations? Still not sure about whether to go 18's or 19's all around.

18x10.5 +15 square.

Rpf1 is great and cheaper. If you go square, do 285/35/18 with some negative camber

Thanks Paul! Yeah, that's the plan. After seeing Alejandro's Volks, I would hate to use those around in AZ due to the rocks etc. Btw, how much lighter are these wheels compared to our stock setup? I'm still deciding between a set of RPF1's or the RS05RR's. I don't want to copy your setup, but it's pretty hard not to. lol

It takes awhile to get used to. The front end feels light but the car is def faster. It's twitchy but not in a bad way meaning it's pretty responsive so feedback is on point. I need to get a front splitter as high speed cornering is scary. But the lightweight wheels is awesome, I believe they are around 18 lbs each
