Maxed out my camber plates at -2.45 degrees, and I'm happy with the end result.

if I'm correct you can get more camber out of that. spin the gold part 180* and you'll have access to more threaded holes so you can slide that top hat further.

Haha, for sure. I would have probably done a quick googling just to be sure.

Thanks!

As for wheels in the future, I'm currently leaning toward Work Meister S1 or SSR Professor SP1, probably 17x8 +35. I'm happy with the current wheels though, and there's more stuff I wanna do before I drop a few grand on a new setup.

I just want a bunch of lip, hence the massive offset.

Hahahah wow this couldve ended horribly with you ordering 3k stock spec wheels expecting a bunch of lip. Thank god for the internet am I right

Car is looking good

Oh yeah, TRD toscos would look so dope on this.

If I do a swap, it'll be a 1UZ for dat V8 sound, and for the fact that I can buy a complete, running LS400 for about a grand as a donor. I get the engine, the harness, and any smog/evap controls required to make it CARB legal, plus the hubs and brakes if I wanna go 5 lug down the road, and a rear subframe so I can ditch the solid rear axle.

We all know that even when you do that swap, the referees will try to find a way to fail you anyway.

They love domestics, **** any import.

Couldnt you just swap it and pay $200 for a "special" smog?

[Don Fehlio]

Maybe a CVVT 1jz in the near future? Good gas mileage, and great power for the price.

Well, it's been a while, but I've got a few updates!



Air has been moving further and further down my priorities list, so for now, I cut another coil.



Then dialed in the right alignment.

Finally got around to installing my stereo too.



Dat fake wood.

It's taking a bit of a rest right now as a few things have changed in my life; new, more expensive apartment is choking in on the Cressy budget. I also have a new job that involves a bit of a commute, so the future of the Cressy is in jeopardy, based on how much I'm forced to spend on gas. It's a struggle to top 20 mpg in this beast.

If the gas expenses are tolerable, then Christmas will bring me the T3 Lower Control Arms and Steering Knuckles, tax season will bring a W58 swap, and there will be more stuff along the way. I might do a hardwood floor in the rear, and air for the solid rear axle is still a maybe.

So here be some crappy phone pics of the swagger wagon, post-coilovers!


Before


After!


Camber plates, before. Meaning no camber plates.


And after. Yes, camber plates.


Parked outside work the next day, rocking tons of rake.


Slightly tucking.

I know, I need to go lower. But I like the amount of rake I'm rocking right now, so I can stick with this height till I lower the rear.

I don't want to cut any more off the rear springs, so I'm looking into air for the rear axle. The biggest hurdle I'm looking at is where to put my compressor; it'll be the spare tire well, if there's room. Also if there even is a spare tire well.

So it'll be at this height for a while, until I sort out a solution for the rear. In the meantime, I'll be taking care of some smaller issues with the mechanicals and the interior, mainly replacing the damned motorized seatbelts.

Thanks for the support and compliments, and I'll keep y'all posted!

I love these cars...please don't screw this up, you seem to be off to a good start already!

when you have a higher offset the wheel sinks into your fender, when you have lower offset the wheel will stick out more. A side effect from having high offset depending on the design of the wheel's is less dish or a flatter concave face, lower offset wheels will have more dish or a more extreme concave look.
