No turbo motor. All stock NA engine (power levels at least) for a while.

Stance = badass.

Hopefully I'll have 18x9s +15 in the back within the next month or two and can have that **** supa dupa slammed with no tire in between rim and fender. haha wheel fitment addiction <3

Thanks for all the love! God, you guys have to see these in direct and bright sunlight though, the glitter is ******* insaaaaaaane!

Couldn't have said it better. Looks amazing, its insane how a perfect drop and a nice set of wheels totally changes a stock bodied fc.

Stance GR+
Oversized shock body, pillow ball mounts.

Stance GR+ Pro
Same specs are GR+, with helper springs in the rears.
Basically, you can go low in the rears and droop using the helper spring,
without losing travel or bottoming out the shock.

Bruce@tougefactory.com , If you have any technical questions on our products.

but STANCE what GR+ and there are others "what do they mean?"

what offer to FC application for what I see on the website, we can get the GR+ and the GR+ Pro, which one do you have skizzles?

As much as possible in the front without rubbing, and I can go a little more in the rear.

ha yea right! This paint gets expensive!!!! and I really don't care to have the inside of my wheel painted the same color - it gets covered in brake dust in 5 seconds anyways.

Total cost of PAINT supplies only: $100-$150, could do it for less I'm sure but I think I bought more than I needed.

you would have needed to spend only slightly more to do the whole thing, they look great, but i'm OCD about details (like seriously OCD not just saying it) i have weapons too in a staggered setup, 8 and 9's and i can't stand the bronze color they came in anymore, i believe high gloss or satin black will be my duplicolor choice.
what brake pads are you running that your getting heavy dusting?

If you didn't say you used a spray can, I would say that was professionally painted. Good job!
