T.Renshaw34 - Project Liberty - JDM SPEC B FRONT END!

[JKeep2.5i]

nice list you also left out rota

[t.renshaw34]

Lol. Thought everyone knew what gravels are already. Can't justify the extra on the enkie's for only a 1kg saving per wheel, when the gravels are already 10.9 kg each.

[augo]

What offset are the "Gravels"?

18x8.5" +44
Went Nitto NT05's over P Zero Rosso's.
Heard they where the better of the two.

Dynamatt pics will be up when I finish it. Takes a little longer than I had allowed for today.

Need more camber, get wider control arms.

[t.renshaw34]

Haha 6/7 degrees on the front isn't enough already??? Feels crazy to drive through the hills. Didn't even notice the rear until today. Needs wider wheels and 245 tread.

[<GB>]

where is the dynamat going?

[Dropz]

everywhere but the engine bay by the sounds of it from his list the other day!

-18x8.5" Gravels
-245/40/18 Nitto NT05

I'll be keen to see how you go with the 245 wide rubber. I know there's heaps of clearance on the inside for it, but on an 8.5" rim, it is going to rub the rear guard and stick out a bit on the front with the only rub risk being lowering.

I tested this just yesterday with a mate's 8.5" wide Gravels with 245/45/18 rubber (yes, granted it's a bit bigger than 245/40/18) and it makes me think that the realistic width limit without flaring the guards would have to be 235 so it can tuck in a little.

[t.renshaw34]

Looks like I might be getting my guards flared. Was considering the damd front fenders. They allow a 20mm extra clearance on the out side. I am already rolling the guards.

Ideas on how much it cost to get two guards flared?

[HyRax]

I got both my rears rolled for $60 each, which is a little more expensive than some places, but he was a mobile service - he came to me. He also does flaring, but I don't know what he charges, presumably only a little more than rolling.

Anyway, in your case it's beside the point - he's in Sydney, but there must be something similar down your way.

6-7 degrees?

Dude with 5.4 degrees on prodrive GR sti control arms, I was extending braking distances a dangerous amount. Back to 1.5 degrees and tyre temps are down, handling unchanged, tramlining reduced, and braking so much better. And thats with proper shocks and R comps. Not Bouncy Chit.

[kiks]

Alsoi you say it took a while...How long was spent detailing the inside of the guards? Jesus thats pristene! I need glasses
