Welcome Bomber.

For details of my mods, you can check out my garage as link below:
http://f10.5post.com/forums/bpgarage...o=view&id=6081

Wheels from Forgestar, Morr, Forged 1 and etc. are all custom fitted to your vehicle and they won't disclose the offset. They are all pretty much flushed to the fenders, no spacers required.

IMO. Go for the M kit, the lip cost close to 10k, for a few k more you can get the M front.

Try Wah Kee at Gloucester Road. Mlai's favorite mod shop, usually a bit cheaper. They don't carry 3D stuffs but most of the other they can do.

ACS will not sit low for our non-adaptive drive cars. You may consider H&R.

Please award full kit or only the bumper, full kit include bumper and many minor components which you didn't realize from outside. But price is different

Go to mlai's Favorited place Wah Kee, the M front only cost something like 15k and it will come with all the necessary parts. Tell them you are refer by Mr. Lai and Mr. Chow and you will get VIP treatment

Probably just mentioned Mr. Lai and not me. I did not get the $80K+ BBK from them.

Hi all, got my car for 2 weeks and going to get my F14 next week. Now is planning for the spring, as RC3 mentioned, ACS is not low enough and is considering for HR. But is it too hard for daily drive? as i need to drive my parents sometimes and don't want to be too hard. Just ask Zshop today and also suggested HR. Any comments for HR? Thx

ACS not low enough? You are kidding, right? Unless you ALWAYS drive on completely flat roads, and have NO SPEED BUMPS.... I don't see how ACS is not low enough. Any lower than that, you will kill the top of the shocks in no time.... Unless you go coilovers!

Installed h&r for a week , low down around 4cm , comfort doesn't change much but increase the stability at the corner, worth to mod
