Nice! Making me want the bronze wheels as well :P
I also just did the same: eibach springs, with 15/20mm spacers
Here are my alignment specs:
The shop only had FK8, and I sent them the official specs for the FL5 after. Anyone know if DE5 and FL5 have same alignment specs. Does it even matter...

So I finally went ahead and tested the wheel and tire out. Everything worked great! I incrementally torqued the flat headed nuts from 30, 40.. Until 80, taking off the wheel to check every increment. Honestly the step drill wasn't really needed but I still used it to slightly widen the holes a...
Darn, seems like a bit of a hassle. I forget that European cars use lug bolts, and not nuts. Looking at your two lengthy posts, looks like widening the holes is necessary? I was hoping I could just apply anti-sieze, and then torque some spherical lugs incrementally.

I agree that it's not THAT hot, but it is still nice to have! I just wish that the US spec cars could include the stitching (red or orchid) like the Canadian versions.
Are there more pops/bangs at high rpms when in Sport+? Sure sounds like it..
I'm deciding whether to go this route, or just do a downpipe and then a future tune :hmm:
