^^^ instead of getting 4WS get a set of sway bars, youll have 100x better response in emergency lane changes. The 4ws is a cool concept but:

Limits some after market parts (not sure which ones, but i know it does for sure)
May limit wheel specs that you choose later
More crap to break when you are out of warranty
and with the money you save buy coilovers and sways bars, and BAM, way more control

I need solid facts man assumptions give the wrong message, and make you look bad in the end. I was planning on plus sizing to 275 in the rears I need to know for a fact this wont work since im probably gonna order them from tirerack. I looked under the car several times and the 4WAS motor is pretty small, and sits right behind the pumpkin.

I have 4was on my 08 coupe. 360 forged 10.5 rims and 295 out back with no issues. Car is not lowered.



...and Fast intentions CF exhaust. Full Hotchkiss sway kit. All are compatible with 4WAS.

I have it on my '08 and like it very much. It costs less than the nav option (which I was adamant NOT getting) and have had no issues with it at all. It isn't for track use only btw.

maybe an 06, I have an 08 zero issues with exhaust or anything else for that matter.
4was is excellent at high speed stability.
it adjusts the front ratio with the rear actuators.
just you won't be drifitng as easily.
btw 275 in rear with a ton of room.
if you hit corners hard,you will notice the diff.

its not my job to do your research. Ive read that people have problems finding camber kits which work in the back, i didnt read into it because i dont have it.

I don't really mean to be an ***, I just don't like being confused by speculation. I do read these forums for information, posting information you're not sure about confuses everyone else that reads it.

personally i didnt want it, the more **** moves the more sht fails... the new FX55 is going to have it and from what im hearing theyare already having issues with them.. keep it simple and dont waist money, swaybars and springs will do you much better

I didnt know mine had it or that it was even offered until I looked at the sticker. It is noticable and it works very well.
