Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers + Rotora BBK = SMILES!
Hi guys, I finally got off my lazy bum and went to install these 2 items. I had the Tanabe at the highest setting, which still ended up being about 2 fingers lower than stock and the Rotora BBK is a mini 6-pot calipers with 2-pc vented and cross-drilled rotors. They fit behind my 15" Volk CE28N wheels very nicely, even though I had to add 8mm spacers to clear the spokes. I also switched to a more aggressive 195/50/15 Yokohama Advan Neova tires, installed my Thailand-made S/S downpipe and put on the type-S front lower grill. It sounded like I did a lot of stuff but I didn't actually haha, I was just procrastinating, most of the stuff (like the grill and downpipe) is a 5-10 min job, but the rest I let the pro shop do it....Here are the pics:

All the Jazz VTEC in Indonesia comes with rotors/calipers brake system already for the back, the drums are only for the i-dsi model. The Type-S front lower grill is what's already supposed to come with the bumper, but the dealer was out of stock for a long time and we only managed to get them last week. It's nothing special, just your typical black plastic honeycomb mesh to cover the center hole of the type-S bumper.
My CE28's specs are 15x6.5 +45, I got the wheels before the brakes, heck, I wasn't even planning on going with the BBK until I stumbled upon the rotora for a real good deal so I couldn't pass it up, the 8mm spacers are fine, I tested it on high speed on the highway and I don't see any difference...
