Turned out good with the spacers and I like how you painted the lip kit.

they look awesome!

I went with the front kit that uses your stock front rotors. Had to do a lot of grinding on the ends of them to make them fit my 18" track wheels though.

Looks stunning! I too really like how you painted the kit. It flows much better with the lines of car that way.

Now go put those brakes to use some where on a track! lol

How are you liking the AD08's? I see the front fitment is 255, but are you running 295's out back?

I'm considering these tires for a future setup, but I am curious as to how they handle the added power of your turbos.

This is a really nice setup. Can't wait to get mine in from Mike @ Alliance. What kind of fluid are you running with this setup??

Holy crap, there is like 2mm of clearance between the front caliper and wheels and those are 19's. Going to have to be really careful mounting wheels or you'll chip that shiny red paint.
