Wow, first post and you've already modded. Great looking ride! Want some detail of the suspension setup and the tires size. Do you have Advanced Agility pkg?

CKS Coilovers for the C Coupe application with custom spring rates and dampening adjuster. Ride is super smooth and firm improving the handling dynamics.

Hi Fantastic, Mine is getting there. I see you have Black surrounds around the side windows, Has it been painted? mine is silver. Your wheels look pretty close to the arch, do they rub?
Many thanks.

Honestly, I am not sure what the offsets are on my wheels.

European Auto Source (EAS) is the shop that did the measurements and did the aggressive fitment for me and jsyang15 on the car.

There is no rubbing with an aggressive alignment from EAS.
