That is one beautiful car right there. Congrats on the new ride. When did you get it? How quickly did the modding begin?

I picked it up about 2.5 weeks ago...400 miles driving it home the first day
The tint appt was set for the next day and at the same time I decided to do the shield...the wheels went on after this last week just because I could not stand the noise the stockers make. All the other parts were sitting here in anticipation. They would be on the car already, But I dont drive enough to get it thru the dang break in period. Not even 800 on it yet. By the time I get it to 1500 Ill have some coilovers, sway bars, sainless lines and pads all sitting here. Some time in mid to late april Im guessing... I also plan to do a syms adjustable wing, Ravspec CF roof spoiler center and chargespeed skirts all around. |

New set of wheels/tires on the car
Enkei RPF-1 17x8.5 et40 only 16lbs With Falken 255/40/17 rt615's Rears rubb a little bit on the outside edge over big bumps...Considering the suspension and alignment is completly stock thats pretty good. .25 of neg camber will fix it. More ics thiss weekend. |

Much better choice with the smaller Enkeis, the Evos were downgrading it a bit.

Yes, its the perfect offset to make up for the added width.

OK, so the new camber kits are in front and rear and no more rubbing
new alignment specs 2.4- front (maxed out) 2.5- rear (could go to 3.5) 0 toe all around It never amazes me enough how much crap can be screwed up on these cars stock. I was use to seeing overtightened bolts and nuts on the downpipe and stuff, but never on the suspension... So...Right side front camber bolt (stock one) way overtightened and stripped. Like I said before..Just take off the crappy stuff and replace it with new. Pics of car with wheels on the ground and camber to come tomm along with stripped bolt. BTW: I repeat, completely stock suspension. |
