Simply Beautiful! Great Job! I live the wheels, can you tell me what size tire you are running, any rubbing issues?

According to my SPOON cataloge their rims used to be sold in 15x6.5J et35 or et45 offset, 4x100, 4x114.3 or 5x114.3 pattern only though?

Nice car man!

Taffeta White is really awesome! I wanted that, but in the Honda Makati group only pearl white's were sold, and i was looking for a rare color so i ended up with purple blue pearl(acc to Nippon/ acc to honda purplish blue)

Lucky enough to get rubbing issue when u got 4 ppl inside your car actually. I simply can't load ANYONE in the back seat when I had pro kit spring set with my 15x6.5 +45mm offset regamaster evo rims & Advan A032R 205/50R15 tires on my car.

I find the pro-kit rear springs are just ridiculously soft. It's really noticeable when I'm around corners. I can feel the rear end keep leaning until it make uses of the "loose section" on the coils then it stops at that point. I ended up swap out my rear pro-kit spring & replaced it with T1R v1 springs. And keep running the pro-kit up front right now. NOOOOO rubbing issue even with 14x6.5 +27mm wheel setup!

So it may still rub after u got +45mm offset wheel setup if u're not running 195/50, but running 195/55R15 or 205/50 like me. If u don't have 195/50 now, I would recommend u to find a used set of springs that sits higher at the back & swap them in. Which will be cheaper than buying 4 195/50 tires PLUSSSSSSS pay for mount & balance again.

Nice ride bro! I'm not really a fan of the whole Spoon setup, but your car is very cleanly done.

The rear is actually riding on stock springs and only the front is using the prokit (Which means occasional rubbing is there even with stock springs, 4ppl in). i dont think the eibach's spring rate it differs a lot with the stock springs thats why i dont notice much of a difference in ride comfort. I didnt install the rear eibach springs because i knew that the rubbing will worsen. i may get new set of wheels soon but not that soon coz i still have to settle some bills to pay lol
