Cool thanks for the link, I think I might have to order one for my TA-04R chassis.

Gotta love the black web spokes . They must of gotten really popular since they were added as a $500 to the sport package as I am seeing more and more of them on NAM.

Get rid of that bra quick before it scratches up your paint. You have white paint so the scratches won't show as bad but trust me, they're there. Clear bra it!

The classic bra does nothing more than catch dirt and grit and rubs it up nice and tight against your paint.

I know!
I actualy ordered nm springs a week after they came out but have yet to install. Because it's my daily driver and since I drive to NY almost everyday
I have been reluctant to install them on stock shocks.
Anyway, Thank you for your comments

Put those NM springs on, but don't forget the adjustable camber arms. Otherwise you end up with 2-2.5deg. negative camber! That's cool for track/AutoX, but not for a daily driver unless you like buying a lot of tires. I kept the stock (Sport) shocks and while the ride is a lot more firm, it's certainly not harsh. However, the bump stops do need to be trimmed ~1/4" to avoid constantly riding them. You will need a good alignment to get back to stock camber (1.5-1.8deg neg.) on the rear. It's all worth it! Tossed mine thru the local twisties for the first time today with no clearance or bump problems at all. Did take awhile to get the silly grin off my face tho, LMAO. Have FUN!!

PS: Biggest problem is having to raise the seat to restore your line of sight
