thanks Fronts are 18x11 +17 with a 265, but the sidewall is a bit big so I may go down to a 255 or 245. The rears are 18x13 -7, 295 currently but ive got room to go alot bigger.

Right now im using tein flex's, and I love them. With these terrible roads up her in canada theyre super comfortable. Ive always wanted to try out stance coilovers tho, but the motor has drained my wallet for now.

Love the new UIM Gordon. The standard 20b set up didn't do the rest of the car justice imo, this looks much better and I expect, flows better too?

Back from the body shop. New driver door, fixed some small issues, new paint, and painted engine bay.
Rear end was pulled out, parts were sanded and painted (rust issue).
Swapping my EVO-R 60mm headlights for stockers.
Ditching the 19's for a set of 18x10 XXR 521 (probably).

Sitting kind of high because it has no interior or engine right now.

tein flex's thats pretty cool, i honestly wouldnt have expected that but the whole setup looks good man. im with you on wider tires.. never really cared for the super stretch tires.. now that i know i can run wider fronts.. im gonna go with 235 or 245 /35's on front and 275/35 on rears. keep it going to man! glad to see it coming together!

thanks for the kind word! back when I was shopping for the FD I wanted black/red/white... glad I ended up with the red one! It looks more aggressive in red. White feels too smooth, but still beautiful.

thanks bro, well setup still needs some adjustments... front need to be raised just a little to match my rear height, level the car and get rid of the rake. My fender liners are already modded cuz of FEED fenders... but I might end up removing them and simply weld a plate to cover that big hole in the engine bay!

Thanks, Wait till you see what I've got coming up next I got PP 20B in mind N/A or with hks t51r...can't choose lol.

I might change the front fenders with something like this :
The official 'My FD3S' picture thread.  READ THE RULES!-tqjfml.jpg

It would match way more with my rear flares and flow better overall.
