I really like them so far. Much more performance oriented then the stupid Kuhmos that I had on before. Only bummer is I need to "re work in" the part of the tire that the fenders rub on when I turn, haha. My old tires were at the point where they rarely ever rubbed.

Can't wait to put some more miles and more twistys on them!

I like mine till its raining. Then they suck
i feel like im driving on a slip n slide
But they get amazing grip on drive pavement

I'm not quite sure what kind of rain you are dealing with, but today in Washington (I'm pretty sure we are the rain kings) the roads were looking like a slip and slide and my tires were gripping great! (lol 5s)

For wet and dry, Bridgestone Potenzas I approve.

Maybe its just me but mine slipped like crazy in the rain
An that was with the coupe so 5s power too lol

Haha, Im not saying I couldn't if I wanted, but comparitively speaking to at least my old tires they were great. I don't know, despite my slam, my car car has a pretty good suspension setup. But I was really testing it out today on some tricky roads in the rain, and despite its 221,000 miles, I push this 5s to the max. Afterall, my 3s is just chillin in my storage unit waiting to get the call up to the big leagues.

I went from a toyo something( startex with a p) to the them an they seemed to get alot less grip in the rain
I beat on my 5s on a daliy basis lol 187,000 an just keeps goin
Plus im riding on s techs with bad struts. So its hard telling
I loved them on the 1mz hatch for the 23 mile i drove it

Looking at pics of you car make me miss being super slammed as you put it
I really need coilovers

Do it man!

I need to raise mine to look better honestly.. It just isn't worth it until I get better wider wheels, without them it won't have the same effect.. So for now I'm just staying slammed.

Still handles great!

Once the 1mz is running right coilovers in on the list

Was browsing around and found some old pictures of my car. Man, I remember how happy this car used to make me! Proud to say that hasn't changed one bit!

Since I am no pro photographer, my photos are always the same angles and lame backgrounds (I'm working on it!) so I decided it would kind of be fun to compare my car 5 years ago and today..

















Lols..good times...

Sexy

Its amazing looking at your first shots compared to how it is today hey. And to know you done it all yourself!!

I love that pic of the rear of your car between the other randoms, sits SO low... i love it.

Really is a great feeling.

Needs tint!

Quite the change, had a great base to start from as well. Looking great!

No, what it needs is LESS infractions, haha.

But yes it does need tint.. Just honestly I don't much enjoy driving with tint. I don't like looking in the side mirrors with the windows up or in the rearview, at night especially. I know this because my Audi has tint, haha.

Something I have been thinking about for a long time. Probably when I get new wheels.




Thanks man! Twas a great base, totally stock.

Something mild - like 30% or 35%. No darker.

Finally got around to painting and putting my splitters on. Sometimes I don't think the OEM skirts are aggressive enough for the splitters on some applications, but honestly I feel like they match great on my car for some reason, maybe they just look good in person or something, ha. That being said I have some 404 sides that I will be putting on when I'm not busy..

Car looks great and the splitters definitely set the GT4 bumper off right. Very aggressive.

Your car looks stunning but you really need to raise the rear, imo.
