it’s definitely subtle when compared to a stock car at the same time. Then again, I think it’s the perfect OEM+ look. As much as I like the look of a slammed car scraping the ground, my ITS is a year round daily for me. The pro kit gives enough drop that it closes the fender gap, but I can still...

couple more from this morning. Also dropping a comparison photo (mine is the left one). My buddy who did my springs and alignment has the same exact car (and will also be using the pro kit).

OEM+, Eibach pro kit + Bonoss 15mm spacers

Eibach pro kit with stock wheels/tires on 15mm Bonoss spacers. My winter wheels are 18” +45 so I feel like it was needed to keep everything looking right. I’m loving the stance and I haven’t yet noticed any negative consequences, in fact the steering feels even tighter and more responsive, but...

I felt the same way with my spoiler, love my gloss black V1. I’m on the fence for the Acuity shifter, though…just not sure how much it really improves shifting over stock for a daily driver.

If you’re using spacers with your OEM wheels (which is really the only reason to use spacers, otherwise just get a more appropriate offset AM wheel), you’ll be fine. The OEM wheels have cutouts that allow the factory studs to recess, so no worries there. My winter wheels are +45, so they’ll sit...

Got my 15mm Bonoss spacers installed today in preparation for my Eibach pro kit install next week. I also ceramic coated my calipers while I had the wheels off. Hoping it makes it easier to clean off the brake dust, lol. I can definitely see why people say the spacers make you want to drop the...

If I lived somewhere without cold temps, I’d be on these summer tires year round. Unfortunately, I have the need for an all season based on my climate. I’m excited to see how they perform once I switch them out in the next month or so.

I would recommend watching the tire rack comparison of high performance all season tires. I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 for my “winter” set up on my ITS based on my climate. I get cold weather, but not a huge amount of snow. I valued great wet and dry performance over snow performance, so I went...

Yes, they are the concave FF4’s from tire rack. I don’t have them mounted on the car yet, I probably won’t put them on till closer to October. Huge bonus is that the center bore is apparently 64.1, so it matches up perfectly without hubcentric rings. I measured and then test fit a rear one just...

Got my winter wheel and tire setup delivered today. I’m off Monday, so I plan on applying C5 ceramic coat to the wheels then so they have plenty of time to cure before I install them in a month or so. Specs for anyone interested: Wheels: Sparco FF4, 18x9.5 +45 Tires: Pirelli P-Zero AS Plus 3...

I found the exact same paint chip/gash in my PRP ‘25 ITS when I installed the Artwork V1. It’s small but noticeable on the driver side. I’ll grab some touch up paint soon for it. Annoying, but at least that’s the only damage that I saw from the OE lip.

If I’m not mistaken, most summer compound tires are like that. Something to do with degradation from freezing temps. I’m gonna be safe and put my summer wheel and tire set in the basement instead of the unheated detached garage just for that reason.

good luck with that, once you start poking around in here and seeing what everybody else is doing… welcome, tho!

Add another to the list of people that did the Infinity Design intake and inlet tube. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Couple little Chasing J’s pieces inbound and I’ll then call the engine bay “good to go” lol

I have the Craftsman ratcheting wrenches and I’ve found them to be really good, decently fine teeth. I agree that the ratchets (at least the ones that I have) could be finer…at least the 3/8, my 1/4 ratchet seems to be ok for what I’ve used it for. Then again, I think my 3/8 ratchet might be one...

Almost all my automotive and motorcycle tools are craftsman (though my power tools are DeWalt). I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Craftsman tools for decades (and some are decades old).

best profile view I have of it. Yes, it’s the V1. I wanted an OEM+ look, and I knew if I went CF that it would have opened a very expensive pandora’s box of CF for my exterior. No shade to those that get the V2, but I’m not a fan of how aggressive it is.

Is there a reason you’re against the Artwork version? It’s one of the more expensive, but it checks all the boxes (fit and quality are great, and uses factory holes). I’d seen too many “other” manufacturers that have fitment or quality control issues and I didn’t feel like going back and forth...

I can just go off the anecdotal data I see in this forum and in the FB groups. Seems to be a weak point, with the same style of failure (seams leaking). If I’m honest with myself, I really just needed an excuse to start prettying up the engine bay. I think it’s a good excuse, though.
