    It's actually faster off the line than all of the other cars, because of VVTi, lightweight flywheel, and efans.

    It corners the best too. Just needs more top end.

    I guess that 'more low' ideology doesn't always work... :p Roll the fenders or add a little more camber to your front (assuming you've got clearance at the struts).

    Lol, I do need more low in the front. I'm not happy with the height. For some reason it looks a lot higher in that picture tho. Fenders are already rolled. I'm having a hard time getting negative camber up front.

    Yeah, it breaks my heart. 16x9 +15, 195/40/16. I'm currently running D2 Coilovers. Your car is looking good man. Do you plan on going lower in the front?
