In 2007 he was trying out 19's and 20's on the drift machine with a hardcore tuck, and now he is back to 18's with the flush lip..

June 2009. Drift heaven magazine. Pg24,25.

You might recognize this car from Haraguchi's recent drifting footage at Bihoku circuit with Burst Nakamura and Mr Von Gettin jr from the united states. This is actually Haraguchi's private car. He did lower it just a little bit after the day at Bihoku circuit, but this is the actual ride heights. Haraguchi says "I tried bigger wheels like 19s and 20s but I finally found the perfect combo. I think 18's fit the car the best, still go really low and functional. I think the car looks the best when it looks really low and wide."
This car is fully equipped with all suspension components that 326power offer to help super low drift cars, although the motor is bone stock. Stock boost, it doesn't even have front mount intercooler, spinning 215 35 18 all around.
when you look closely he has ls3.26 full aero modified to go even lower. This aero is already designed shorter than other aero for super low ride but Haraguchi needed to go even lower and functional.
