Not really, the ride height is almost exactly where Kracka's is. The tires stick out just about even with the fender, they are pretty wide. I may try -3.0 in the front and -2.0 in the rear.

Re: My Evo
I'm not gonna lie, your car looks weird to me with that much tread on the tires.

Re: My Evo
They don't come with caps, you have to order them. It's the way Enkei's are.

Re: My Evo
Can't you throw in your stock center caps? No fit or what?

Enkei Racing series wheels are cheap. You want spendy look at Volks. 2X the price for the same size and similar weight. RPF1's are about the best priced stupid light wheel there is.

Re: My Evo
They are cheap for how light they are, but I still wouldnt consider them cheap cheap. Center caps are pretty standard id think...

Yeah, but they're racing wheels, and probably the cheapest racing-quality wheel you can buy. I didn't buy them to win car shows.

Re: My Evo
Here's a video of me from this past weekend - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tVFbVOxIWs
Heading into that downhill section as I'm heading to the right I grabbed 3rd gear because I was all over the rev limiter if I stayed in 2nd. Hit the brakes hard and back to 2nd for the rest of the course. Just an idea on how fast that course was.
The day before I installed my cams and seat lowering brackets. Will have turbo install parts this week, will hopefully get that done in a couple weeks then off to get tuned finally.

It's an entirely different driving experience, but I definitely feel more as a part of the car now than I did before. Between that, the new wheels and tires and having not autocrossed since last fall I feel like I'm starting over.
