Thanks man, it does sound nice but its, its way too loud. especially if you're going to daily drive it. it'll get really annoying.

my wheels are 18x9.5 don't remember exact tire specs but i think its 245/18/..... but i think i might go 19s or just keep the same rims and get thicker rubber after installing the shine auto kit on it

No noise restrictions or anything here and I dont daily it so im fine with it being loud

18's I think are perfect for the FD with the right ride height! Maybe just spray your wheels bronze I think it would look too perfect

I wanna change up the centres of my wheels soon to a black chrome or dark gunmetal colour

You guys are so lucky then. I bought some matt black plasti dip for them. once the car is done ill paint them. i am also looking into tire i don't like the stretched tire look.


here is an old update guys, after i bought my 3.5" and hubs when one of my studs broke. my boi Ahmed, managed to install three of them at his shop, we did 2 front hubs and studs and the left rear side. it was a complete pain in the *** to separate the drive shaft and the hub from each other and no matter how much we hammered it wasn't coming out. eventually he came with the idea to soak it in transmission oil till the next morning, and surprisingly enough the damn thing came right out.

here are some pics.

Not sure what the one on the 1st image is.. The one on the red and yellow cars is by Pan Speed I believe. No idea where you can find it though.

edit:
The wing in the 1st image looks like the R-Magic. You can get it here:

I agree with TheWird. A half Bridge Port would be a great setup.
