hope you get your new spacers install soon.
Me too. Since I got the Nismo rims, I've never been happy with the rear look; the front is really exaggerated in the pictures. In person, the front really looks good to me. I like part of the tire shoulder (1/3) sticking out from under the fender.

I'm going to keep my eye on it and may just put the 10mm on the front and go to 5mm in the rear. 5mm is so small, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble; i.e. either go 10mm or go 0. I've got a few weeks to decide.

10mm seems a safer choice...

Mr.Nick911sc, you are thinking about putting on the Swifts as the first step, then Koni's as 2nd, then get a set of Super Sport later.... these steps reminds me someone in this thread..... you know... the guy who's on the Z-edge.....

Yea.. But if I plan on doing the first 2 steps why not do them together as one step instead of having to do them separately? That's my dilemma

Mr.kenchan, I am on the same boat with you at this one, although I just pick up the DW 2 days ago, like it very much so far, but I've been thinking about getting a set of SuperSport after the DW.

Even with no specials we're talking about a pretty small box here.....$40 for regular ground service seems a bit much no?

It seems wrong since I paid less than $10 for shipping on Monday.

Have to take off the same parts anyway, why not doing it at once.

So... What is the reason for getting these gifts this time?

It's a small box, but four spacers and sets of studs are heavy.

5mm does make a difference. it's subtle but the closer you get the tire sidewall to the fender the bigger difference you will see even with small increment changes. i would make sure that your spacer has a hubcentric lip though. im not sure if there are any 5mm that have the lip. you many need to use 10mm resulting in ET14. which is still

yah, i like the DW's too. no real complaints. ive gotten use to the softer sidewall response and it's not bad.

since my G is modded and runs S04's with pretty stiff sidewalls the contrast is noticable. that's all. too bad bridgestone tires are so frikken heavy though. atleast 4-5lbs difference per corner!
