It looks alright man, at least you took the plunge. Just get some camber going and you'll be alright.

aha yeah just put it up for fun looking to see who would be interested. Had a couple of guys message me to swap for some turbos but i havent replied lol


Just a quick update also. The rear wheels are starting to scrub. if i have people in the back they scrub a lot and if i go over bumps too. As for the solution im looking into rolling the gaurds. Would this allow me to stick the wheel inside more or would cambering only allow this? In terms of camber, do i need to have coilovers to camber?

What's with the different car in your signature?
I was about to reply asking how you could have that rim spec with that much low and not already done a lot of guard work :)

See where its scrubbing. I would roll the rear guards as a minimum anyway.

For rear camber you'll need a WL rear camber kit.

You can buy rear camber kits from whiteline to tuck the rears in a bit. I would recommend getting the rears rolled aswell. I would do the fronts at the same time too
