So much time and effort its a credit to you would hope mine would be even half as good as this

Thanks a lot bud, appreciate it! I'd say it's about 3" front and 4" rear as a rough guess, I could measure for you if you wanted though..?

Weird how everyone calls them SSR Koenig or SSR Monster

Texhnolith, Dave at JDM distro insisted they are ssr koenig as the manufacturer label does say ssr on it, or speed star at least.

Taz I don't think it's an s13 specific brace, I bought it as an S14 / S15 brace. doesn't hit the engine at all, probably a couple cm clearance.

SSR is indeed the manufacturer. But the brand is Koenig Special and the type is KG-WRV (or in the case of my wheels KG-IMP, and you also have a KG-JPN type)
Kinda like a Volk is made by Rays. like you shouldnt call a Volk TE37 a Rays Volk imo :p

I've been stockpiling parts to fit recently and have a custom c-pillar brace, rear cusco strut brace and subframe brace as well as better condition oem parts to fit, and 3 defi gauges. My bumpers are shagged after some Idiot lightly back ended me this week and the front being a little messy and cracked so the plan is to do it proper and order a vertex edge kit in March. That's it.

I'm off to the land of sand again but only 6 weeks this time so will see you around March time. Hugely jealous of you getting wide kit, best kit by far. Nice fat wheels to get some more power down as well ;)

Nice one Chris, where did you order from? Did you shop around a bit for the best price? Not sure on wheel sizes yet, thinking 9.5 -15 front and 10.5 -30 or thereabouts on the back.

I ordered through my mate at injection imports, didn't bother shopping about as he always sorts me out really good prices! Drop him a message man, pound is great against the yen atm why I took the plunge ! Cool man , should be very nice! Have to make sure we have different colours ha ha ha I'm trying to sort my workshop atm so I can do the build myself fingers crossed I have it sorted before the kit arrives otherwise I have no idea where I'm gonna store the kit ha ha. Yeah I'm thinking 9.5 front and 11.5 rear , still weighing up a few options wheel wise. Look forward to seeing yours all done buddy
Are you going for more rare wheels?? Something a bit different
