Post Alignment Pics
a few people have asked for detailed pics of the car with the new wheels and the clearance with it being lowered.
apologies in advance for the cell phone pics. some notes: - car was not parked on level surface - alignment specs roughly -1.6 fronts and -1.9 rears - no spacers (5mm fronts made the tires rub the liner) Rear Passenger Front Passenger Front Driver Rear Driver Whole Car Side Shots

totally changed my mind of these wheels after seeing them on your car! question about the -1.6 camber in the front, camber kit required or you can achieve this just by alignment only? |

- Yes. They are anthracite. - -1.6 degrees was done without any camber kits. it was from the alignment shop (i originally asked for -2).

i'm on kwv3 and my car is pretty slammed... if i went with your same size wheels and tires is it safe to say that i'm not going to need any spacers either? |

Well, life took over once again and pressed on fast forward. Picture below was taken after a quick powerwash to clean up the car to get rid of the road grime after 1000 miles driven this weekend. No hands touched the car. Just pressured water/soap and rinsed...then drive.
Xpel and Nanolex Ceramic coating were done by DetailersDomain back in Jan 2019. It is still doing its job VERY WELL!! she tends to be thirsty (aka small tank)...

so, we went ahead with the AA midpipe and Remus Race exhaust. my first choice for the axle back were the Remus Sport but i was informed that they were sold out and that Remus did not plan on shipping any new items to the US until 2020. i went with the cheapest tips and had them powdercoated.

Apex Cleanup
It was time to put the summer wheels/tires away for the winter and mount the winter set. Before storing the summers, I decided to clean them with some detail spray and a MF towel. It was close to being effortless. The brake dust and road grime just wiped right off!!
Some history...I ceramic coated these wheels with Nanolex purchased from DetailersDomain before they were ever mounted to the car. Click this LINK for the post that shows this coating process. Here are the pictures... BEFORE DURING AFTER

Winter mode
Well, winter mode is on! Decided to go wider with the rears.
History: When I purchased the car in Jan 2019, there was not much information available as far as winter tire fitment. I spoke to TireRack and opted for a square 255 setup with Pirelli SottoZero3 tires. This left the rear wheel edges to be very exposed. Now that I switched to 275 rears, they sit much better. Anyone interested in buying slightly used 255/35/19 Pirelli Sottozero3? Let me know.

correct. i never drove them with the perches. my guess would be that they would ride the same way. the perches act like a spacer and doesn't really assist in any bump absorption.
