[bootyluvr]

Very nice!

Thanks!

Oh and I got those Nitto Invo tires installed a month or so back. I like them better than the RE01's I had.

new brakes and tires are the beez kneez. i will be rockin the re-11 with the ebc rotors/pads unless i get a new br-z or fr-s.

I was thinking about replacing my RE01's with the RE11's but I didn't want to spend the $$ on a brand new set. Buddy was selling the Nitto's for a really good price with about 2k-3k miles on them.

I definitely wanted to keep the same size (235/45/17)

225/40/18 re-11's are on my nt0-3 wheels. i only been used on the dragon for 1 year so, less than 2k miles. my problem is the lug pattern will not fit on the br-z or fr-s. i will have to find a different wheel to put them on if i switch cars.

Yea IDK why subaru insists on sticking with the 5x100 hubs, its time to move on, this isnt 1995 anymore cars are heavier and more powerful now.

Yeah it would be nice to get a set of 5x114.3 BBS's

brakes look nice Mr. Jeff. I hope my new Dunlop Star Specs make it until September... but I have my doubts.

Glad you got your car back together.
Mine is still on the stock clutch, and the new tires should make a huge difference.
I am still planning to bring the BMW, unless I am not feeling well. I will be trailering it if I do bring it. The 4.10 gears, no sound deadening, and other things make it not fun on the highway.

I really hope you're able to bring it

 

[sonej4]

I hope so too, but its not like the Si isn't a capable backup. Even with stock suspension, rsb, and some front neg camber.
And I would have more comfortable seats, AC, and a radio.
