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.
