Looks nice! One question... looks like it's a Super HICAS model, but I don't see the ABS Distrobution block in the engine bay. What's the deal with that?

those wheels are the perfect size/offset... when I get wheels I'm defintely going to pick those up, they are priced well too. I've been looking at them for a while but didn't know what size would be good. Those are 5 lug too right? I am 4 lug right now. Are you running any spacers with them?

Also where are you guys getting the ca18det specific strut bars from?

I like those wheels a lot. Just out of curiosity, are you running 17x9 all around or a staggered setup with 17x7.5 in the front? I think I am going to go with the 7.5's in the front and 17x9 in the rear.

the 17x7.5 look like they are only available in super weak offsets, so if there are no spacers those are defintely 17x9 all around. edgeracing.com has decent prices on them. Plus man... thats a huge a stagger, 1.5 difference? I like the way my car is balanced now, I don't want anymore understeer.

Well, it would only be a 20-30mm difference in tire width. 235F 255 or 265R. A lot of cars come with a more staggered setup than that. I didn't think the +32 offset was that bad for the fronts. The Gram light 17x7's come in a +35 offset and they don't look bad at all.

17x9 235/45/17 on all 4 corners.

The front fenders were rolled and pulled slightly.The same with the rear fenders.

Car handles very nicely, z32 brakes + big wheels/tires on front =
