Hey Guys,
Just an update, the DMS coilovers have been fitted along with the billet camber tops. I am extremely pleased the the ride quality and the handling, its go kart flat! My cornering speed is at least 20 KM/hr more than before and thats with the old stock STi rims and tyres! Can't wait to see how it goes with below.
I have now fitted the XXR 527's 18 x 8.75 +35 with Toyo Proxes R1R 18 245 40 series tyres. Most of you already know this combination has been tried with a 225 and also 235 tyre has met with limited success, to the point where the members got rid of the rims.
Below are pictures with the rims fitted, the DMS camber tops made all the difference regarding fitment in the front. I also used some Whiteline KCA399 Rear Control arm - upper outer bushing to tuck in the rear tyres. Excuse the dirty car and wheels.
The car is now about to go to the body shop to have the front and rear guards flared. They won't be using a rolling tool, instead are going to manually hammer the fenders into shape and then plastic weld the front bumper and rear bumber and guard supports so that there is a nice flare and tapered radius , keeping true to the body line of the car and shape. They will then respray the guards, panels and doors, blending into the original paint work.
Will keep you posted of the progress of the panel work. I intend to take pictures of the process. I believe they are going to mock up something first to ensure I am happy with the shape of the flare.
Cheers
