Yeah, I installed Sportlines on my FE3's, and they're not bad at all. Just would rather it be direct bolt-on and go.. lol

May be able to work out a deal on the wheels, my man..

Gabi, post or PM a few pics of what you've got.

-re-drill for 4x100 pattern
-your rims will clear the caliper

i personally verified this...IIRC maven also ran the set up on his car for a while

ps. same thing applies to the LSJ brakes being used on the base

The ls stock rotters have a thickness of 8mm wile ss are 7mm so a 1mm spacer is required to convert a ls to any ss brakes

and the fronts do 70% of the braking so I wouldn't care about drums in the back
