I ended up replacing the redstuff pads with Porterfield R4-S and I'm very satisfied. The R4-S are a bit more expensive at $160 and in the same price range as Carbotech 1521/G-Loc GS-1, which I was also thinking about, but since I already had R4-S in the rear I figured it would be best to match...
How do you like the damping on these compared to stock Si? I have a set of FK8 oem springs which are ~4.7/4.2 spring rates that I would pair with my Si dampers but not sold on that route yet. Been looking for a street friendly coilover setup with ability to lower like 0.5”-0.75” and these seem...
I’m looking at the specs for height ranges and assuming that the first number is out of the box and the max/min range is in parentheses. And this is in mm.

Did you make a best offer and mind sharing what was accepted? Also does the overlay look too thick on top of the original chrome or no issue there? Sorry for all the questions. I like this idea better than the vinyl because I know I wouldn’t do a good job either.
I’m interested but I think the shipping to CA would not be worth it. Too bad I’m not closer. Any reason why you’re selling? Looks to be in great shape. Any drone with the remark simce theres no resonator?
I think even on the manuals it’s not that audible with that whoosh sound you’re looking for with the mishi. The short ram intakes with no airbox is the best for sound from what I’ve seen but obviously not great for intake temps.
Did you buy the Si? Hope you got a really good price on it. I want to put in the RV6 retro flywheel and clutch someday but need to find a really good well trusted shop to do the job. Horror stories like these make me hesitant.
