Ahh, it's such a clean install it looks factory!

*gasp* Part numbers please

Welcome back to the fray!

As far as I know, K Tuned only makes it for the FL5. I've inquired about having them make it for the DE5 but they needed a car to test fit on. Unfortunately they're all the way over in Canada, otherwise I would have offered my own car.

My understanding is that there are no regional changes being made to car for the Japanese market. They leave the factory floor and get loaded onto a boat for customer delivery with all safety, emissions, and North American tunes intact.

I'm on h&r springs and my winter setup is 255/35 Nexen Winguard Sport2 on OEM wheels and 20mm spacers. No issues in that last storm I was caught in and there was a good 3-4 inches of snow on the ground by the time I made it home.

I pulled one of these today by trying to give more room for oncoming traffic to pass on a tight street. Ended up curbing the front passenger's side wheel a bit. Not super severe but from now on I'm using up all of my right-of-way space. Traffic can sort itself out.

I did the same with a spare 10ft cable I planned to use for the rear dash cam. The right angle came in clutch and I have it routed to the baby seat LATCH anchors. Makes it easy to access by just lifting the seat flaps that hide the anchors.

If you're maxed out on factory camber with the pins removed it shouldn't be an issue. However if you're dialed in to a specific setting, it could be a problem. The wheels would want to naturally camber in more when the nuts are off.

Did some.lught wrenching today.. installed the Wunderladen strut locking washers so that the struts don't shift when I'm removing the nuts for the strut tower bar or if I need to access the battery.

Cheers to that. I'm constantly looking for things to wrench on or mod. I mean I *could* take up crocheting or something but cars are more fun. Albeit a little pricey...

It's about this bad, not terribly noticeable but it's there. Looks and feels like damage to the paint layer only.

This happened to me before as well and it locked up pretty tight also. Grab the metal collar (circled in yellow) with one hand (it helps if you have really grippy gloves) to keep the whole thing steady and then twist the black spring collar (circled in blue) with your other hand. Try to rotate...

Once you lift the white clip, it should release and you should be able to rotate it. You might need to be a little more heavy handed with it but it should eventually "break" loose.

I knicked one of my wheels already trying to avoid a pothole 😩

I'm digging the look!

Comparing our setups, you *should* be clear (in theory) as we're only off by 2mm on overall diameter. I think the issue comes down to the tires, I suspect the Bridgestones just run taller and wider than spec? Or maybe the Michelin's run smaller.

Something I discovered when comparing to my buddy's car is that FL5 fenders are "shaved" from factory. They have a few mm of clearance because of that. I ran into this rubbing issue when I was running the 275/35 previously also but I am on H&R springs. I tried flattening out the fender liner and...

I'm genuinely surprised you are getting rub, especially with that much camber. Which corner(s) is rubbing? Which part of the tire(s) is rubbing?
