I didn't do much research into rims like that, so...
Yea i have seen a lot of potholes filled the last week and a half. My normal routes are pretty good now.

I wouldn't say it looks terrible, but not great.

Are you suggesting that I do the drop and RCK right away I assume with the fender rolling etc?

I am getting the alignment no matter what, that is for sure a must have.

So I still haven't heard anyone suggest a fender rolling place, anyone?

So if your on a budget, Id say hold off, I have been really happy were I am at without a drop and performance has been great. Id would suggest alignment from Jeff for sure any way you go, it was about 80 bucks if I remember correctly and it was soo worth it.

Let me know if you plan on selling the stock rims. I could use another set for test n tune days since I am on a "having a baby" budget. ;)
PM me an offer and I will consider it. I will probably be very tempted but this would be something I would probably regret later, lol.

You'll have to align it again after installing the springs. You can wait on the RCK and rear sway if you want but unless you're going to wait until next year to do anything else, I'd do it now.

You could try a separate thread for that question. I'd call Primo and ask them. They do metal fabrication work so I doubt they'd be afraid to roll a fender.

Alignment is something you should check up on once in a while, maintenance if you will. The bumps and bruises from driving a car thousands of miles can throw stuff out of whack more than you'd think!

High five! This is in round #1 for mods on any car I have owned, it is insane how much of a difference you get for $200 and some cussing (during install :) ).

On a car like this, I figure every Spring.

The hardest part on the X is dropping the exhaust. It'd be a 10 minute job otherwise.

LOL... right on ..scheides.. The sway bar change was night and day difference for this car. By far the best 200 I ever spent. As far as sway bar install goes Murlo, it is pretty darn easy, If you need help, I can always offer a hand.

I'm glad to see a X owner modding like crazy. Keep it up, and update us as you have!

I got a ride in this car today. It felt string as hell, nice clean build! Got my the gears in my head turning again.... :P

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 
Might of felt a little faster with just two people in there;)

Hopefully that WGA helped, the car does seem to hold a little more up top now with it. Felt real good on the way home.

Star specs come next week and then i put them on. My car is going to look like a monster truck for a while until i lower it etc.

But oh well, i need to get off my winter tires...it's no good.

Those rims look so good, can wait to see them on the car. Discount do well on the star specs?

Are those RPF1's ? I can't tell. Also, those a mega wide! Those should look bad ass.

Eh, it was 250 a tire, but they are big tires so it was going to be pricey. Still way cheaper than buying new OEM tires though:)

Yup they are a limited edition gunmetal RPF1. 18x10.5 with a 15 offset.

They are going to look funny until i drop it, but when that happens they will look like the shizz.

Sounds competitive with the online prices. If you want a laugh then price out a set of RE11's.
