Lower Than Low Budget '91 Escort

in a ghetto way, you can slot the upper hole on the strut where it mounts to the spindle

I planned on it, but I guess there is no other way to get some extra cambies..

yall probably thought I was playing

Lol thinner than my oem tires

Finally bit the bullet and ordered some Achilles 165/40r17s so I can minimize my rubbing and get my tuck right. Thinking about ordering some TA Technix cause this riding bumpstops shit is unbearable and won't go low enough. Does anyone have experience with TA Technix or know if they will go low enough? Like reeeeeally low, lower than I am now. Idgaf about taking out helpers if I have to, anything rides better than this shit.

Post some pictures of your rear hubs and struts and shit...

haha oh my god. I'm honestly jealous of how much fun it seems like you're having

and for reference this is the supposed "-5 degrees" but idk, didn't measure. Even with this amount my mini wheels are hitting the strut so it'll need some 20mm spacers.

Anyone have an idea as to how I can get more camber? This car has no adjustments aside from camber bolts which I just installed in the rear. Supposedly each bolt adjusts +/- 2.75 degrees, I maxed out both so it's somewhere around -5.5 degrees at the moment (sure as hell doesn't look like it to me). I could probably bump that up a bit after slotting the top or bottom of the mount but still nowhere close to that broken tucked rear look I want. I can do some fabrication if needed, I can MIG weld.


(well I guess I should say "less camber"... idk)

It looks so awesome.

As it sits right now, still have to do the other sides fender well. Need some 195/40s bad

[greeneggsandslam]

hahahahaha holy fuck that fender well.

Tell me you're going to cover that shit up with a big Yosemite Sam mudflap.

That's the funniest shit I've heard in a minute haha, after I put sheet metal over it I'll glue a Yosemite Sam mud flap on it hahaha

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]
