    Cheers, they didn't so I had to take them out of the OEM headlights. Cost including shipping and tax was £540 via Nengun

    Hi All, Like to introduce myself, my name is Chris and I have had a stock Silver GT86 with Nav/Leather/JBL setup for the last 3 years. https://www.facebook.com/Fensport/posts/900297963377455 I have read up on your various projects on this and the other uk forum. Really love the car and wanted to improve it with tweaks here and there. To date I have made the following changes curtesy of Adrian and Dan at Fensport: HKS Supercharger V2 KitHKS Hybrid filterMishimoto Racing ThermostatEcutek remapUpgraded Helix ClutchFidanza FlywheelHKS 4-2-1 manifoldMilltek over pipeBerk front pipeHKS Legamax sports exhaustThat is it so far....... My next steps are wheels and coilovers and here is where I am looking for some advice. I'd like to install the HKS hipermax iv GT, fill out the arches with a 18x8.5 wheel and put on Contisportcontact 5 235x40 wheel. I have read a lot on the unsprung weight saving benefits and to this end I am very impressed with Twigman's TWS T66-F (I have gone as far as to source the wheels and have supplier ready to go), I also think the SSR Professor SP3's are beautiful but at this size will be around the stock 17's weight. Does anyone think I should go down a different path and what wheels would you choose? One of the above or something else? Appreciate any feedback, Thanks. PS - Sorry in advance if I have misplaced this post.

    Had them for over a month now, the perfomance is very good and it feels OEM.

    Ajay's HKS Supercharged GT86 TRD Build

    Spoke to Maz about this last year, he stated it was designed for poor fuel in the US and was not recommended officially as a better kit than the V2 in Europe.

    Thanks Lauren definitely will get those put on especially as I still have my new headlights to install, which unfortunately has been 3 weeks late and now stuck at customs.

    The Exhaust Thread

    I have the Decatted HKS manifold, with the miltek overpipe, Berk front pipe and HKS Legamax S-Tail exhaust kit. love the sound, not too aggressive until you really rev if up. Benefits wise the 4-2-1 manifold definitely helped great rid of the torque dip and overall weight saving from the OEM parts. Downside being the issue of an MOT fail with the Berk front pipe.

    The Wheels Thread

    Finally fitted my TWS T66-f's 18x8.5 ET42 weighing in at 6.9Kg with Conti5's 235x40.

    Quick update, wheels, coilovers and BBK went on last, absolutely love the result, stance is great and a massive positive change handling/cornering. Adrian also spent another couple of hours remapping again. See pics below most taken by the Fensport lads. My headlights did not turn up in time so I will have to wait.

    The Suspension Mod Thread

    Must be 6/6 then and Fensport just thought all rates were still the 7/7 rate standard. Either way a great setup. 😊

    The Suspension Mod Thread

    Hi I had the Tein Flex A's fitted on Friday with the 7/7 rate and dropped 30mm by the Fensport boys. I have to say the kit is much better than OEM and I would think getting the EDFC kit like Lauren would give the best of both worlds, adapting where needed.
