Thanks. I feel the same way too sometimes. And the general opinion on the forum is about 50/50 too. Some love what I used to have and some love what I have now.

While I loved my T1S and CS rear, I like my current look a bit better. I've always wanted 5 star wheels with the bolts around the face of the wheel and this was my chance to do it.

As for the Strafespeed, after seeing it on Tony's car (twalls) I just had to bite off his style a bit and go for it too.

I don't regret the decision one bit.

However, if I could do something a bit different with my wheels, is that I would change the face finish of it. I wanted something a bit more "unique' and when I spoke to Chad on the phone, we both had a good idea of what we wanted the finish to look like. In the end, the finish was just a tad bit darker than what I imagined, but I'm still very happy with it.

Thanks man. I bought the Brembo's used for $1000.

How are the megan coils holding up? Assuming those are the street version, they pretty stiff? I need to change my setup

Yes, they're the street versions. They can be a pretty stiff ride if you adjust the damping all the way stiff. I've had mine one for almost 60k miles so far.

Just rolled rear fenders.

No, because I rolled my rear fenders.

Yea, they've got some mileage on them. I want to replace them with something better sometime next year.

Thanks man. And don't look at it like a bad thing. I looked at Patman's car as an inspiration to mine, but just tweaked it a little bit to call it my own. We all imitate to some sort of degree.

You do know that I have a set for sale in the Private Classifieds, right? Probably about $500 cheaper than what you spent, especially if you were looking for the exact same specs that I had.

No, I don't do everything myself. I can do minor stuff but I don't know how to do body work. And you seriously need to stay away from the "quote" button from now on. Just don't touch it when replying to any post.... ever.
