When are you going to see jeff? I like the offset on these, seems just right.

No appointment yet. May 24th is my first HPDE @BIR so I'll try to get everything done by then.

Perfect fitment on the wheels! I love it when tires sit flush (or slightly in) with the fenders and don't stick out at all.

Also, just as a little tip, always tighten strut tower braces down with the wheels up in the air, this will take stress off the chassis so the brace holds things in proper place. Obviously this will make a bigger difference in cars without such a stiff and well braced chassis to begin with, but especially when tracking the car every little bit can help.

I assume you're saying to snug them and then torque it in the air? That's a bit too involved for the ramp so I'll have to do it when I have a garage to work in.

Side by side comparison of the stock and APR wings.

You don't have a jack?

A rather nice one. I don't want to get evicted from the association for working on my car in the ramp...they will actually foreclose on you. Parking ramps are considered shared space and any mishap would fall under the association's insurance, hence them having no sense of humor.

I'm willing to try my luck on small stuff but jack stands? No.

The rear strut tower brace is a bit time consuming since most of the trunk and the back seat back has to come off.

I love the Rexspeed hood dampeners! One is strong enough to hold the hood and they let it down at a proper rate for it to latch.

Nope. I'm surprised how many X's are in the Cities but they don't get on the local forums. I've invited a few from the national forums but they aren't interested.
