The Hankooks were on there when I bought the car, they seem to be fairly new with some of the little rubber nubs still on them. Excellent wet traction, which is important up here... they seem to hold up well at high speed, but I think I felt a little sidewall issue when I was taking a corner quite fast... freaked me out a bit... Could have been improper inflation however as they did find a screw in one of them. They are not a matched set however. The backs are Ventus ST's and the fronts are Ventus V12 evo's. They are both directional so that limits your rotation options.

I wouldn't hesitate to go with Hankook again if I ever opted for a square setup. But I am actually hoping to wear these out so I can get some Goodrich G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S's. in the staggered setup.

Yep, a little worried about that. Only going an inch, so I may have room.

Wrapped the CAI tube. This is the real shit. I tried to feel the heat inside the tube from a heat gun. Nadda.

There is a way to remove more heat, you will need a saw though

Cut the wheel weights off my brembos. Those things weighed like 5lbs in total.

Lots more space


Than before. Had to rebalanced them every time as they put the weights in a bad spot

Yep, pretty ugly! But I'm usually the only one who looks under the hood anyway and it doesn't bother me.

The thing about the Airaid is that it's a giant tube and intake, but it sits right on top of the radiator. This heat shield will keep the cool air coming in a LOT cooler than than running through a heat-soaked plastic tube. Aluminum is even worse in that regard.
