So this happened today.

The fit is tiiiiiiight

I need 5mm spacers to fit my daily wheels.

I also need to bleed again as they aren't firm enough.

Buuut...

They're on

Congrats! Those look really nice. Are you going to paint them or powder coat them?

Thanks!

I have some g2 grabber blue epoxy I was going to coat them with, but I kinda like the polished look for now. I spent the time buffing them, so why not 🙃

Hell yeah! Let us know your thoughts after they’re all dialed in. I’ve always been curious about this upgrade vs. our oem brakes.

Got my dad's SI hooked up with a new wheel/suspension setup.

- Enkei PF09 (18x9 +42)
- Falken FK510 (255/35/18)
- Swift Spec-R Springs (-1.1" drop all around)

I'm pleasantly suprised at how much closer the steering feel is to my FK8 on this setup. No rub at all from what I can tell and no issues at full steering lock. Wheels are pretty flush to the fenders but not completely at the limit.

It's that time of year again. Parking lot pump sprayer car washes. Washed yesterday, followed up with a finish shine spray detail today.

Love it!! I was contemplating the PF05 in 18x9 +42 a few years back

I had a similar setup with my old wheels - 18x9 +45 on 255/35 tires w/ 1" drop and loved the fitment. Definitely made the handling more sharp and crisp.

I was actually going back and forth between the PF09s and PF05s with my dad, but we both ended up agreeing that the PF05s would look better with bigger brakes. Can't really go wrong with either imo.
