Docomo's TW Fit-"R" build
My 2009 TW MT Sport.
+Axis taillights (red)
+TIR front lower arm bar
+TIR lower frame brace
+TIR rear sway bar
+Spoon rearview mirror
+Recaro Speed w/ Bride RO rails
+Aries 3D interior mats
+TRS Mini D2S w/ Osram CBI 5000K and Denso Ballast
+Rota R-spec 16X7 +45 w/ Conti DWS 205/50/16
+Bilstein PSS coilovers
I told myself I was done with modding cars years ago but the mod bug bites in mysterious ways. So here is how she stand after 3 years of stock-ness.
More to come...

Compared to stock, the sitting position of the RO rails don't slide back far as I'd hoped for (I'm 6ft) but other than that I also noticed the weld marks and the fit and finish I'd give it a 8/10. The mounting to the Recaros are spot on tho, so I'd recommend them.
#6
Subscribed. I plan to do this in the future and good to know what rails, parts, and other info. I want to sit lower and have better bolster and support. Any issues with the airbag light, did you do any sort of mods like a resistor?
#7
Feels like sitting in my CR-Z (basically sitting on the floor). I'll have some side by side shots for you guys when more parts arrive and are installed.
#8
I haven't sorted out the airbag light issue, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would (knowing it would light up after the seats install). If someone has a DIY for the resistor mod I'd be more than glad to fix it.

The drop now is 3/4" but I think when the springs settle in they will get the 1" i was anticipating for.
The ride is smoother than before but just a tad lower than stock. Its my DD so I want it comfortable. Hard to say if handling improved because I think the Conti DWS improved the road noise and handling more-so than the stock bridgestones.
