i believe hks can go lower than the tein flex and cs with the added 30 way adjustments. i never had any problems with noise or leaking issues.

side skirts are l-tuned. they have been discontinued for quite some time and they fetch a pretty penny if you can find them.

HRE don't stamp, did you messure for the offset? I think they look a little more agressive than the posted offset

Actually, every wheel made by HRE in the last five years has engraved
backpads; you'd have to remove the wheels from the car to see it.

For example F-20305 would be Front wheel order #20305
5H20P307030 would be a 540 standard lip 20" +30 offset
with a 7.0" inner rim and a 3.0" outer rim. I know the numbering
code because I developed and implemented it!

If the pads aren't engraved the wheels are 5+ years old.

Anyway, the car looks good!
