Didn’t want to lose any sleep about the stem valves. Just went ahead and removed the rollers on the front.

Now I can drive without worrying.

Yes we need more pics of the wing and side view to see stance/rims.
The wing is growing on me too.

What brake pads/rotors did you use? Looking into replacing my brakes. Car just rolled into 33K miles and my brakes are the originals.

Also what springs did you go with?? Thx

I will try to take some professional photos this weekend.

Here’s what I used:
- 1.25” BMR Springs (Front + Rear)
- R1 Carbon Geomet Drilled + Slotted Rotors and Ceramic Brakes
- MRR 228 10” (+23) and 11” (+43) on stock size tires
- Firehawk Indy 500 245/45 and 275/40 tires

Planning on quad tips this weekend. Just waiting for parts to come in.

What is the reason for going up by 2" on the wheels if you used the stock 245/275 tire width?

I plan on upgrading the tires to wider ones. I just bought these set last year and didn’t want it to go to waste.

I’m actually digging the stretched look as well. So I’m even debating if I should even change it once it’s due or keep the size the same.

You'll find that while stretched tires look good to you, they don't perform like a properly seated tire. I went wider on my car purely for traction. I run 305s in the rear and love them.

Yes. I just kept the tires because they are still new.

I was in the same boat. 3500 miles on mine. I moved the 275 to the front and bought new rears. Sold the 245s

Dude, looks amazing. A lot of people don’t seem to care for it here but i think it really sets the car apart, looks awesome.

Maybe I missed a pic or something but why is the daylight photo of the front of the car when we’re talking REAR wings?
