they're race tires.

I have 18X10.5 and 18X9 CCW classics on my car with JIC FLTA2s. Good choice

not good grip in standing water, but if its just wet, its still grip much better than street tires.
Those wheels are for my FD actually, I was just testing it on the SC300. I think its better to have the 18s on SC.

Header is regular XERD header, no problem at all. As usual there is resonance between 2000-2700rpm under load.
I think its better to turbo the car versus putting in header.

Default Your Teins...

Looks good!

Those Teins (Flex) easy to install? Just wondering - what height do you have the collars and bottoms at (?)...

BTW - I like your FD (I had one as well)

I follow the manual specs for height setup. I would have done the adjustment on corner weight.
RIght now its sitting about 2 finger tight in back and 2 finger loose in front.

Here is one black CCW in 18x10, unfortunately on my FD...
