I saw that thread but did not realize it was you
Well, good luck with this project!
I am esp interested how Dinan exhaust comes out and what you plan for suspension.

Dinan exhaust should be in tonight. Will have pix posted tomorrow I hope. Then I"ll be tuning most likely with Cobb.

Not sure on suspension yet. Depends on how the wheel/tire setup turns out. Definitely will be lowering it. Probably with KW Var 3's.

(repost)
Okay Vossen VVS-CV3's shipped from Florida today. I'm in California, so I'm assuming they'll be here next week. 20x10.5 ET42 in the rear, 20x9 ET30 up front. I REALLY hope they fit!

I"m now torn between Hankook Ventus V12's, or Nitto INVO's.

Planning 285/30/20 Rear and 245/35/20 Front. This provides the exact same revolutions per mile, which is 777. Also they have matching diameters at 26.75 inches. Like I said, REALLY hope they fit!

It looks close but it's been awhile since I've been on stock wheels I did some math: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...&Submit=Submit

Check it,and I only did the rears . You can take measurement to see if you need a fender roll.

Thanks TLO03! Looks like it's going to be very close. I think I'm gonna give it a shot!

Well I put the wheels and tires on this weekend. Fronts fit. Rears rub a bit. I'm going to roll the fenders and we should be all set!

What do you mean by "comes out" ? I've had that exhaust for over a year. It bolts right only requiring a slight grind on an obvious contact point against a bracket.
