Thank you, I was definitely looking into the March Cup series in Asia when choosing wheels, the Watanabe inspired Enkei Compe line short for Competition* perfectly match the round soft shape of the K13. Not a particular fan of FastCo, so I never buy (copy products or any brands that have no legit history in motorsports)
For the springs, RS*R Ti2000 series on the K13 increase the spring rate to 2.56 FRONT and 4.49 REAR, these are progressive springs so they still hold some ride comfort at low speeds and even road, once things get more bumpy it does ride stiffer than the stock springs by a large gap. These springs have some Titanium % in them which helps keep them from loosing their coil over the years. The extreme body roll from factory was something I disliked and lowering the car's center of gravity helps with this issue. It has a more aggressive stance and sportier driving feel. These springs were spec'd from the JDM K13 version which comes with a HR12DE (3Cylinder Supercharged Engine) it is inherently lighter so when these springs were equipped I noticed a bigger drop by .100" total of 1.5". Quite a cost effective solution without going into the coilover route.
I will post the details on the mod (lowering section) of the Forum if anybody is interested.

helll-o comment tu as enlever la boule de shifter? j ai pas encore osé sur le mien
Nice Car! the ride hight looks great! The heavier front end you guys have with the 1.6 must help. It looks lower than mine and my fronts are close to being wound right down. Wheels are awesome too, really suit it!
Thanks Johnuk, I'm quite pleased with the fitment. Just wish I had the Nismo body kit or an IMPUL V1 kit on it, oh well stock will have to do. I'm looking into finding the OEM non-facelift version K13 front end and maybe convert to the JDM spec, hood, front fenders and front bumper.

Just recently received a special order form Japan, Cusco front & rear anti-roll bar upgrades. Will install this spring!
