probably really hard to get now since SSR went out of business and the agle minervas were only made by order. I think DSSkyline found the last set that came from Gruppe-S, if not there's another set floating somewhere.

I received the exact feeling I wanted out of my suspension. Ok shouldn't have used the words to describe the suspension as being possible to be tuned "just like stock". The part about no more wheel hop should be a hint to this as well. For those wanting a luxury ride, DO NOT GET FLEX. For those wanting a luxury ride I wouldn't even recommend springs because your going to be spending as much as flex or more in the long run when the struts go out. Why I purchased the flex is off of the quote, "if your going to do it right, do it right the first time". LOL I fell short with not purchasing the front camber A-arm.

CONGRATS! Take good care of them because I don't know how easy it is to get them anymore since SSR went bankrupt. my rear are +24 but the fronts are something different. I had +24 ordered for the front but was dissapointed that they didnt clear the brembos, after a 3 month wait.

Nice! Yup that was the only other set, they ordered the rear 2 rims because the fronts wouldn't fit on my car.
You lucky bastard have a nice deep dish lip on the front as well.

Your right the falkens don't have any rim protection on these wheels. The rim protector sits about a half inch above the lip and a couple cm's in
.
I don't know why they are so much narrower then the S03's I had. The S03's protected the rim a lot and went about a 1/4 inch wider then the rim. The rear wheel was tucked. The falkens taper inward and leave a gap now. So far I'm happy with the falkens though. The grip is just as predictable as S03's
