That's the same size I have (and also project Silvia in SCC), did you have any rubbing issues with the rears? i know I did, had to trim my fender lip back a bit, I bottomed out all the time, especially if I had a passenger.
Whats amazing to me is that even though they're so sticky, they have decent treadlife. I've had mine on since last march and I still have a good 50% tread left, with driving almost everyday and a trip to Alabama and back on them.
Russel, those are the Azenis Sports.....what Azenis do you have?

No, I haven't had any rubbing issues at all. It could be that your wheels may have a slightly different offset. Also, I never bottom out with these struts either. I used to bottom the front out on big dips w/ the stock struts on intrax, but with the bilsteins, there's just so much control. And yeah, the treadlife on these tires - for what they are - is amazing. My stock BFGoodrich G-Forces lasted about 12k miles. I drive my car the way it was designed to be driven... very quickly. My last set of Azenis lasted 12K miles and that's with *my* driving lol! In the dry they are at least twice as sticky as the BFG G-forces. I can launch at 4K, and get just barely more than a nice solid bark from the tires.

Bob, it looks great. The Intrax springs do have a nice stance, indeed.
Glad you liked the Magnaflows. They do sound the best on the SVT. Deep and mellow, especially with the Magnaflow resonator in place, as well.

Niiiice looking car. I have two questions:  1) Do you (or anyone else) have any clips of that exhaust, Magnaflows with the resonators? 2) How much did the Crystal Ion fogs run you? I'm thinking they'd look perfect with HID

I will put up some vids sometime here, of the exhaust... I could get it up this week. And yea, those fogs would look perfect with the HID's . PM me for details on the fogs.
