So I finally got the rear wheels done.
1. It took forever to remove the paint from the faces, especially the SSR super black coat finish. I thought it would never come off.
2. I ended up going 1/2" more aggressive like I wanted to. Final specs in the rear are 19X12.5 (-7) with a 6.5" lip. 305/30 hankook is kinda chunky.
3. I broke a wheel stud so the wheels came right back off and I get to fix that. Then reinstall wheels and adjust the suspension.

Got front arms installed. Didn't get anywhere near the amount of camber correction I thought it would provide but something is better than nothing I guess.....

Megan rear uppers came in. Got them installed no problem. Look likes the rear wheels are going to be rebuilt to 19x12.5 (+5) using a 6" outer lip and 6.5" inner. Planning to run a 305/30 tire. I wanted to do a 6.5" outer lip but it looks like it would take more than 3 degrees to get it to clear the fender and I'm not about that life anymore. As is, I'll be able to run around 1 degree of camber. Just ordered some Megan front upper arms so I can reduce the front camber to match. Fronts are going to be 19x10.5 (+12) using a 4" outer lip and 6.5 inner. Front is really conservative, but hey at least my tire wear will be even

Wasted time trying to be cheap. Was going to buy the TC Sportline RUCA's but saw the balljoints were prone to snapping. So..... I decided to buy some Godspeed RUCA's. How bad can they be? First set arrived and I immediately sent them back due to pinholes in the welds (was later told they resold them also). Replacement set came. Got the driver side in no problem. Passenger side was too short to mount to both subframe mounts. Sent that garbage back and got megans on the way like I should have done from the start. Car is currently laid up with no control arms, Fedex needs to deliver early......Don't mind the spacers, I'm in the process of making a final decision on what specs the wheels will be rebuilt to.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Not many updates. Had to repaint part of the front bumper. Ran over a huge truck exhaust tip lying in the middle of the highway. I finally painted the door pillars myself. Next up is to actually order my lips from vrwheels.....Last edited by honeybadger; 03-18-2018, 07:03 PM.
