The springs, shocks, and adjustable sway bars really cleaned up alot of the handling characteristics of the car. It transitions much better now. I'm still not sure I like the sway bar settings yet but once I get an alignment next weekend I'll start sorting all that out.
The rims I got are smaller in diameter now (17"), but they are also wider (10"), lighter (6 lbs/corner), and stronger. I'm wearing non-staggered 275s and will be looking to squeeze in new 295 width Kumho Xs for next AutoX season
Also, from a cosmetic standpoint, it looks alot meaner too.

I'll keep this brief cuz I don't want to turn it into a photoshoot. Here's what the car looks like now with the new rims and suspension mods.
Can't wait to get it out on the track now!!!

Thanks guys.
You are correct Jcjt, they are 5zigen fn01r-c's.
Jack, when I got these I was thinking I'm willing to sacrifice cosmetic appeal for a smaller diameter rim if it would ultimately prove faster. However, I actually like the look of these better than the set of 18" rota p45rs they replaced.

Back to the business at hand... I spoke to VROD04 at AutoX this past weekend... he's said he's submitted and paid also.
This brings our total to 6 confirmed. I expect my cousin Aaron (G35) to submit this week and Kyle (M3) will probably submit soon too (both first timers) bringing the total to 8 drivers.
Mike W. (Supra TT) will confirm if he can get his blown diff fixed in time... apparently they are on on international back order or somethin.
