And i may may or may may not have already paid! These things are reserved for wagons.

You guys are making me upset, I’m already emotionally and physically attached to them.

Alright... today this was done:

-lower front bushes installed
-lower rear- anti lift kit
-roll correction ball joints all round

All’s well except theres a low more caster on the front wheels so the front of the tyre is hitting the front bar on small bumps.
I’m going to lift the car up a tad to stop it happening. Its pretty low right now so maybe its a good thing.

In the next week i want to install the front sway bar and new end links..

Nice!
How about swapping and rotating the camber plates for more caster, & pull back the wheel a little?

Wont work. He's already on -3 degrees. The issue is 235 with a semi slick tread pattern dumped fully sick lebo spec.
Now it looks perfect, not to mention how much better the ride will be

I own mufflers until I OK Import Monster to release them to anyone else.......

Pfffftt..... all these 8.5" weak offset wheels, let alone 8" +35......

9.5" +38 is where its at.....

It was too low before, i was just too lazy to adjust the height. At least i had to now.

Just went for a drive, the improvement is great- totally didn’t expect it to drive the way it does now. And no more scraping even over big bumps!
I lifted it 20mm all round, about 90mm off the ground- so its still pretty low.

I had a hard time in the beginning with 8.5, i don’t think anyone could convince me to go wider!
i guess i’ll have to be really nice to you until they’re in my hands haha

9.5 +38? DR L

My guess is the poke would be the same but coilovers would be required for inner clearance...

[cruisn]

You can see in person when I get off my arse and get around to yours after work.
