VT Forged RS-S 19x10.5 et 48 in Matte Bronze Stock suspension, Michelin PS4S 285/30R19 (Excuse the grease, etc... coating on the barrels was still curing yesterday when I took these.)

I would have done the same...

Those pops / bangs are pretty aggressive!

Good to hear. You scared me!

Did you get any clips / recordings you can share?

I imagine some of this is the tires... but this is awesome. Can't wait to get my setup mounted. Thank you!

Follow-up... I remember you initially advising not to worry about scrub radius and torque steer based on your experience with your 9.5 et 45 Apex wheels... in your experience, does that continue to hold true with this more aggressive fitment?

Well, this makes me a little nervous... I have wheels and tires going on next week in a different spec that should ultimately fit pretty similarly... granted, I am not lowered, but I don't have anywhere near the front camber you do. I purchased following multiple assurances of "no rubbing" 🙄...

You sent me down the wheels rabbit hole -- just returning the favor 🤣 Speaking of... they arrived last weekend. Getting them mounted Friday after next. Can't wait!

I just broke mine out last weekend! Feels so good after the long wait... trying to be patient and baby the old tank of gas, haha.

There's value to be gained in upgrading the turbo without doing fueling, etc., imo. Reduced back-pressure is good, and you can shift the power / torque bands (and gain some headroom if you want to shape the torque curve). Obviously, peak HP / torque gains without upgrading fueling aren't huge...

Did you get this from a supplier or consumer? If the former... Are you able to share your source? $150 is a great deal.

I think the filter is likely to be different. Looks like it routes directly from the turbo to the wheel well, but this is just based off a pic from their socials. They also shared a very short snippet of a pod discussing a bit of the design advantages (efficiency / weight): I understand...

Acuity's intake should address this. They did explicitly confirm via email that: (i) it exists; (ii) will be sold for consumer use. But, they said they are waiting on CARB approval, and they advised their expectation was this would take awhile.

Ended up finding some Rays FN-IIs at a good price last night. They're the red cap variant. I'm not sure if the accents will look alright with the calipers / Type-S branding or if it will look tacky... price was right, though, and I like that they have the floating collar and that they're...

Nice! Should be awesome, assuming they fill the shoes of their predecessor. Pics please when you get it all installed! CE28s are one of my favorites (and one of the few wheels that hold their own on this car in 18s, imo).

No need. I don't want to deal with that, haha. It's gonna have to be closed for me. When are you putting your CE28s on? Did you pull the trigger on tires yet?

Are you in stock suspension? Any more pics? I am, like, 2 days away from ordering new 30 profile tires, and I'm having that last round of anxiety re: whether 30 or 35 is the right choice (19s).

You dailied the Apex wheels, right? Did you have rust issues with the open-ended lugs?

Probably grabbing some Mcgard splinedrives... figured I'd post here to see if anyone has "strong" feedback in support of another option? Project Kics seem to be popular, as do options from Atomic.
