Am a big fan. I'd be more of a fan if it weren't for sillystrut and needing to get them crack tested to pass cert, but at 10/8kgmm they're actually really pleasantly riding.

I've had to crank the dampers up because of the wheel fitment now - still pleasant, and awfully rewarding while driving aggressively, but it's not a comfortable ride in comparison.

I much prefer the RPF1 look. Still excellent!

RPF sizing is just too conservative in 5x100

Guardwork at the rear completed. Threw a little something extra in because it happened to be sitting around >.>

More than enough clearance at the rear now - like, I would have considered 9.5" at a similar offset if I knew there would be this much clearance.

Fronts still not resolved - been pondering wider front fenders from Yahoo.co.jp auctions, or just laying waste to the ones I have.

wow looks good bro, really nice fitment on the wheels, put a GT FOUR sticker on your riser blocks

ray (yellowchinaman) has 20mm widened fenders for sale I think!
that should solve your issue without a doubt!

So it turns out that nice, soft guards will mostly solve their own problems if you hit them with tyres a fair bit.

It's basically stopped rubbing now, even on aggressive drives up hills. A++ trader. Would trade again.

Photos happened:

That looks fantastic!!!

Good stuff! One of my favorites

get the Ultra racing front sway bar

Did your fortune auto coilovers come with the lower leg for super strut or connect to the oem part?

Nah, sadly. Just a bare metal tip and I found a spare pair of struts to be hacked apart and welded on - which leads to certification issues here in NZ because of welded suspension components (which need x-ray testing).

I love this shot! great work on everything so far!

awesome photo. Hope to get my car looking like that one day

Thanks. How much height adjustment do you think the fronts have from the lower mount? They list them for the 185, but actually do not make them. I found out the oem 205 insert is the same dimensions as the 185, so I thought about buying these for the 205 and having the lower mount welded with oem brackets. From my research these seem about the best deal on mid range coilovers I can find. Everything else of the 185 is either entry level, or high end. I can't spend 4k-10k on coilovers, so I am hoping to make something like this work.

Thanks guise :3. Next on the list aesthetically is clear fogs and a diffuser.

And CMS - maybe 2"? What you see there is as low as it'll go while still being captive (just). I'm not sure what the standard strut length is for a 185, but with the welding battle I'd suggest getting BCs if they do them out of the box - which is infinitely easier (and potentially safer!).

I have a guy who builds coilovers that I can get to weld on the brackets. BC sells their mounts separate but their tread is a different pitch than FA. I am leaning towards fortune due to their digressive valving and potential upgrades. I only want to lower max 2". I have tein HAs and sadly they only handle well at 1.3" lowering. Going 1.9, which is what I want, took away too much travel. I have spoke to BC a bit, and they could build me a 3 way adjustable setup but its going to cost 2800. Right now I am trying to find something that will perform better than my teins, at the height I want.

EDIT: I talked to them over the phone. They told me I could just order a different lower mount and I can make it fit. Hopefully this will be a solution for me. Thanks for your info.
