Not sure yet. But probably more go fast parts first. Thinking gt350 manifold and throttle body next.

I recommend pairing a set of steeda progressive springs also to drop the center of gravity a bit itll be a huge benefit.

Good info. Looks great.

Love the wheels.

+1 on the Steeda Progressive recommendation. LOVE mine, rides like stock but looks are x1000 improved now she is sitting lower.

Holy sh*t that thing looks good!!!! Nice wheels. And like what was said in the previous posts, lowering it some does help. I noticed a difference when I did it. And like you were thinking dystopic, I have the GT350 intake manifold in my garage and headers on the way.

I can't decide between the Gloss Black or the Gloss Graphite....

Yes, lower it. I would recommend this as first mod. Night and day difference.

The SVE wheels dont appear to set very flush with top of the fender. Would you confirm?

Wheels look great!

When you mean flush to the top do you mean offset wise or in the since of the drop?

They are pretty flush with the top of the fender. Probably a trick of lighting.

[MENTION=15323]15wile[/MENTION] How are the tires now that you had them for a while? I am on the fence about getting these or some MPSS.

I found your intro eval. to be helpful and was wondering your long term thoughts. Thx in advance.

They are good. Holding up real well. And much better through the twisties than I expected. Though I think I still need a set of drag radials for the strip. These are good - way better than stock - but still not drag tires. A little more tire spin than I'd like when launching.

All around... 9/10. Would buy again. There are probably better summer tires out there, but they cost a sh*tton more.

And they still look nice:

Looking GOOD! I'm ordering a set next month.

I would like to compare notes on the Nitto 555 G2's. I put mine on three weeks ago and right away the car feels like it has Drag radials on all four corners.

When accelerating/de-accelerating the car has a wiggle to it. I’ve put 1000 miles on them and I think I’m getting use to it but last Sunday when shifting from 5th to 6th at 130MPH (I live in Germany and drive on the Autobahn) the car shifted lanes on me, lucky there was no other cars around.

Of course they are not all bad and I do feel the improvement in traction over the P-Zero’s but that came at a price of lost confidence.

A friend of mine told me the tread lugs are pretty high on this tire (50% higher than the old R’s) and the handling will improve the more they wear. I just hope he’s right…

From the pic above, have you lowered it at all? The set up looks really slick.
