For Buddy Club info:
http://www.first-inc.co.jp/buddyclub/p1/m_lineup.htm
The two P1s are NOT the same wheel. The P1 Racing is the same wheel as the Kosei K1 and it is a cast aluminum wheel made by Kosei but marketed as a Buddy Club P1 wheel. The P1 Racing QF is the wheel with the lip and that wheel is a FORGED wheel (manufactured by First Inc.) and is completely different in design and material.

1) Here is a current picture of my car:
http://www.socal240sx.org/gallery/images/fountainvly623/062301b01.jpg
(The old picture with the white wheels was of my old Kosei K1s 16x7.5 +22)
2) I had to trim my rear fender (inside) by about 3/4 so that it wont rub.
3) I wouldnt call my drop extreme but it is about 1.5. The springs Im using (5Zigen R-rate) are *very* stiff (about 30-40% stiffer than the Eibach Prokits) and work very well for me...
4) When I said rubbing I was actually refering to the front wheels. Under extreme cornering at the track (I dont autocross at all) the front tires would rub the fender inner lining when cornering. The rears dont have a problem at all but then again the rears have the fender trimmed....
If anyone has any Qs feel free to email me at mav1178@earthlink.net. I came on here after a friend of mine put it to my attention that my car was being referenced. Thanks.

15.5 aint bad Car looks good does LOOK like about a 2 inch drop probably do to the larger wheel/tires combo.
