Installed a set of SSR Fellini LS5's. 19x8.5 +43 fronts and 19x9.5 +35 rears, with a 5mm spacer for the rears. Front spacer and more drop from my ksports to come...
So, I think I'm done for the year. It's been neglected for some time since I've gotten into the outdoor 4x4 scene. And at one point I was going to sell it but finally decided to keep it. Since then, I've revised the whole suspensions except for the rears knuckle and subframe bushings. New Figs steering brushing, front and rear swaybar bushings, #1 and #2 bushings, SPC UCAs, new OE motor and transmission mounts, reconditioned my Tom's braces, FA500 w/Swift coilovers, new SupraTT brakes, EBC red pads, ST rotors. As for future plans, before next summer, rear Figs bushings, new lips for the wheels, 19x10F, 19x11R with 255s/285s and possible new burgundy interiors.

As it sit now with -1degree camber, it does rub on hard turns and over big dips in the front but slightly. Before the UCA at -2.8 degrees, it didn't rub at all. If i raise it about 1/8"-1/4" I should clear

Thanks. Actually that pix is with the stock rotors, If you look at the pix with the TT brakes, I trimmed a portion and push it back as well. there is be about 1/4" clearance between the shield and rotors.

Thanks! Come to think of it, I probably didn't need to replace all those Daizen bushings yet as they still seem to be in good shape expect for the #2 LCA and steering wheel rack bushings. But I figure, might as well since I wanted a firmer and newer feel.
Installed some $83 IS300 ebay headers for my 04 GS300 and a Megan racing mid pipe. Installed them both at 2 separate times and noticed slightly better acceleration with each item installed. The black paint is coming off of the headers which is what I expected but I am surprised at how quiet the exhaust still is with these two items installed.
Today I did a big project to get the look I'm after. Tein Street Base Z coilovers. New tires on the Piaa Super-rozza 19" wheels. Drilled/slotted rotors, Painted the calipers. Aligned after setting the ride height where I want.
