Woah has this thread gone off topic lol, it's become a 'will it fit', 'fake vs real' AND an 'is is legal' thread :lol: :lol: :lol:

Plainly your coilovers are illegal anyway Josh so it's all a bit of a moot point, isn't it?

:P

Also your rotas will break just as badly as your passenger floor does when the welds on the intake manifold blow.

Hahaha, I have nothing against Rota and I think the breaking thing is a load of crap and extremely over exagerated. I just feel as a sense of proprietry that knock offs hurt the industry. Same reason I don't pirate video games nowadays.

Lol and I know my coilovers are illegal anyway so I'm not too phased about the legality of fitment haha

Over 2 degrees of camber and tyres 3 inches too narrow for the rims and rolled and stretched 1 inch per side guards and plenty of scrubbing even with stiff as coilovers is hardly what anyone can call 'fits fine'.

Lol...did I not just say its not for everyone and agree with the points you guys are making.

Can we seriously drop this whole 'fitment' crap? Everyone likes different things. Everyone accept that and move on. Nemo likes his Equips and is happy with how they look and run. I also think they look good too! But that said, it doesn't mean someone else will and we accept that but it seems like not everyone else can.
It's amazing how many opinion Nazi's there are on this forum nowadays, it's becoming more and more like Club roadster everyday...

I think it looks great, and Ive hammered my guards with a mallet to get good fitment, so I have no issues with whats needed to get them to fit. But just saying they fit is NOT helpful.
You have to explain the rest also.
