love your work ian

bit of specs on wheels and suspension please?!?

[kiko.man]

Cheers Ryan, wheels are Rota Grid 18x9.5+38 and suspension is BC BR with White Line bits and pieces.

Update:

Last look of my front end before I put my new one on, which is currently being painted.

was there much/any work to fit the Grid's? such a wide wheel!

[kiko.man]

nothing too drastic;

- guards rolled and pumped
- little trimming of the little part near the door (which flew off when I hit a hidden bump)
- shaved a little bit of the inner guard liner
- added negative camber

I don't know how I will tackle the specs of my new wheels but the Grids are a great way to test out how the Liberty goes about fitting a wide wheel with a lower offset.

now im really interested!

will you share? or is it a secret until they're fitted?

I think I've stated it somewhere else but they're Work S1R 18x9.5 and lets just say; deduct a few numbers from the Grids for offset.

Should be getting them very soon but won't be mounting them until early next year after I spoil the Mrs for our anniversary.

Update:

13/10/12 Installed the JDM SPEC B bar, Sti lip and K2 grille. Impressions;
1. It definitely has a much more aggressive look and is slowly growing on me.
2. SPEC B bar is a little lower than the 3.0 bar, accidentally scraped the lip getting it out on the road
3. Haven't painted the K2 mesh so currently using a generic diamond mesh, still looks nice.
4. Number plate positioning is a little low, might need to drill holes or something.

- Doubt it's related but for some reason Engine light and cruise light came on, might give it a scan later.
- Head unit turning on and off. Will check this problem out later as well.

I will post photos once I... can.

I think you'll like it. It's a much cleaner front end than the 3.0R, although i kinda miss the 'Euro' look of the old bar.

Its a lot cleaner! I got to have a good look at cruisn's one last weekend, up close in person! i cant wait for it!
The 3.0R bar is a good looking bar once it has a lip in it, it just 'completes' the bar

I think the bar will look so much sexier on a black Liberty! Looking forward to see how your one turns out

Also the lip in general completes every Libs front end, goes really well on a 3.0R (non bias opinion)

did the 235 give you scrubs?

i ran 215/40 on my 9's and its got to much stretch so keeps poppin off. so i'm planning to run 235's..
