lots of nice SC's in this thread. I just bought the pearl white 5spd that was in the for sale section. I guess I will be coming to you guys with questions.
One question. Some of the cars pictured have pretty aggressive offsets on the wheels. How do sc's take to fender rolling, im sure the back is ok but the front scares me a little.

Sammich - R154, W58, V160 & V161 can all be used, the W58 doesn't handle abuse to well it came on the NA motors, the R154 is pretty durable which was the 5spd turbo trans, and of course the V trans are the 6spd $$$$$$$$$$$
Capt Ron - I had my rear fenders rolled with a eastwood fender roller, they turned out kinda sh*tty on my Teal car, SC's have thick ass fender lips!!!!
i needed to do my fronts but i never got around to it, i planned on just cutting the front fenders though..
here's a pic of my teal car running a 18x10 rear with +22 Offset
fronts are 17x9 + 24
I ran a 275/50/18 in the back, i should have used a 275/35 to get a little more clearance
ignore the "Inlinefour.com" plate frame that came off my integra lol

THANKS FOR THE INFO...BTW I QUOTED THIS PIC CUZ OF HOTNESS...Sammich - R154, W58, V160 & V161 can all be used, the W58 doesn't handle abuse to well it came on the NA motors, the R154 is pretty durable which was the 5spd turbo trans, and of course the V trans are the 6spd $$$$$$$$$$$
CAN THE W58 HANDLE 300 HP?
Sure can. I drove my car with the W58 and 540whp/500wtq for awhile with the W58 and it never broke. Granted I was very nice to it, and NEVER launched it, but I pulled it out as a RUNNING tranny, and swapped in my Getrag, so it never died on me. It's the launch and high rpm shifting that kills that tranny, not roll ons.
yeah man the W58 can handle alot of hp, i don't know about having fun with that power though lol.. i'd say no hard launching or slamming gears..
Capt Ron. man i hear you on the suspension piece, looking at springs and struts new is almost $500, so i just went ahead and got the cheapest coilovers for the SC "Tein Basic coilovers" man they rode awesome depending on what you want, they felt near stock just barely stiffer and i kept my car pretty low, i loved the near stock ride though.. highly recommended..
my new car has HKS hipermax but luckily it came with them cause i couldn't afford to spend 2k on coilovers lol..
