-15mm toe??? wtf? suprised you couldnt hear them squeal. haha

Thats a lot of camber too. The handling on that would be killer now.

Haha everyone was wondering how I even drove it.
It wasn't even bad. The car didn't pull left or right, it was just sketchy when one wheel hit a bump.

Yeah it's a decent about of camber. I honestly lowered the car more for handling than looks.
I love pushing it, and usually drive once or twice a week on twisties.

That being said, I'm going for a drive tonight. I'm sure ill be more than impressed

July update:

Since I've done nearly everything I want to the car, minus a front sway bar and swapping of wheels,
I've decided I want to round everything off with a post facelift tail gate garnish.
Especially considering I've already got the post fl tail lights (and they look 1000 times better than pre fl).

Hopefully I can find one somewhere.
If anyone sees one advertised in any colour, let me know!

Yo Jay, i've got the chrome strip wrapped in matte black if you want it man.... Have you checked with Jarrod (parting out the wagon)?

Good find, you're like a human google for import monster haha

edit*

Got a hold of a white one of this! $150 and i get can it re-painted for nothing.
A very cheap yet worthwhile cosmetic mod. I love the pre-fl front bar but hate the rear compared to the post fl's.

I'll get this painted and put it on in the next two weeks.

For those of you not on liberty.facebook.asn , i just bought a set of matte black Work CR Kai's in 18 x 8.5 + 38 with achilles 235/40/18 tyres.

If you know anyone that wants some (dark gun grey (black)) 18 x 8 +44 Takuma RST's with 235/40/18 tyres with plenty of tread, hit me up!

Nice buy. Who am I going to taunt now about crap wheels?!

You will need a camber kit in the rear to fit those specs and go low, if you havent got one already.

Haha not me at least!
The difference in fitment between the old and new is 12mm more poke (same size tyres).
There's -1.5 degrees of natural camber on the rears right now, with a fair bit of room to play with which makes me think i'll get away with it.

From memory, Zach is running -1 degree on 18 x 9 +44 which is also 12mm more poke than my old wheels, and his don't rub.
Hopefully he see's this and can confirm

Who wants new wheels?!?!

[Kody.B]

I thought Zach was running +42?

You could be right!

[Kody.B]

If that's the case you should have even easier fitment. Not a fan of CR Kais myself but I think they will look amazing on your car. Nice buy

Thanks!
I've done a few big cosmetic things to my car in the last two weeks, just been lazy and haven't taken any pics. Will do that once the wheels are on!

I never scrubbed with +45 and the other specs/tyres the same as yours.

7mm more you just may get away with it depending on intended height. Mine had the rear guards level with top of tyre.

My rears are tucking slightly. It'll be really really close.
