Yeah, hopefully the gold lugs wont throw it way off, but I did like the look when guys matched their calipers. If they aren't my fancy I'll get some black ones

I agree and I'm waiting on these but may need to get the Rpf1s in the mean time.

I can't because it's only on eibach sportlines. I'm slowly saving up for coilovers but it's taking longer than expected.

Thank you
it's still a little too aggressive apparently because it rubs still
I'll figure it out eventually.

Why do people want to increase understeer or is it that people just don't know how to size tires for their car. A much better front tire for your setup would be a 275/35, minimum i would run with the 295 rear would be a 265/35 front. My own car if i were to do 295's out back would get a 285/35 front.

Just was my choice. If I am completely unhappy with a 255 front I'll swap it. No big deal

Key words.
And I've been running 255/35 & 285/35 19's on my WORKs with Hotchkis TVS kit and it has a very neutral set-up.
