Last outing of the year.
Quick question. When I had my car aligned after installing the coilovers, the guy at the alignment shop said he couldn't take all the toe out of the rear. Is that true? I can tell the rear still has a lot of toe-in, you can see it and I go through rear tires really fast.

My car sits about the same as yours and my buddy got all the toe out of mine when he aligned it. I seem to remember the bolts to adjust it being tight as fawk though, so maybe they just didn't want to deal with it, or thought it was maxed out.

Fix your rear suspension and get a proper alignment and you won't go through tires.

Here are a few cellphone snaps of the car after swapping to S5 exterior and black interior. Another member was interested so I though why not post them here too.
Front after painting S5 bumper/lip
Front 3/4 after painting bumper and lip: JDM bubble sidemarkers, JDM signals modified amber/clear, JDM FTP/DRL, Brembo brakes/slotted rotors, Enkei RPF1 17x8.5F (9R)
Interior (after swap from grey to black): Stock Mitsubishi Evolution IV Recaro seat, 1991 GXL passenger seat, MOMO Competition steering wheel, lights updated to LEDs

They are in fact STi brakes. They seem to bolt right up with no modifications but the rotors needed a little spacer machined so that they would line up correctly in the caliper.

Go on... lol, i need more details. Which sti caliper? What do you mean spacer for the rotor? Like offset the rotor more outwards so it lines up with caliper?

IS IT JUST ME, or do fd wheels make the fc look like a newer car? I dunno something about them just flows so well. Like when i see a pic of a clean fc with fd wheels it reminds me of a clean stock fd.
@zenki do you get scared drifting w/ equips? Super sexy expensive wheels
@labuffness, I saw you talking bout coils on ig.. they are really gonna make your car perfect.
Mehh my car is so ****. I've got all kinds of plans for it just not enough $$$. I've got jdm window visors that I cant even install cause I wanna get bodywork and paint first.. Can't install my water meth kit cause I want my greddy compression tube first. Can't tune it cause I don't have time to drop in the haltech sprint re.... I'm losing my damn mind.
