The car is forever evolving. Suggestions are always welcome.

I kinda like it with the tire, looks like ya race it.

That said, if you do not race it, time to set the car down

Hahahahaha!! good isht! No, track for this 1. But definitely lower.

Love the car Sean, Congrats on the Mag cover

[SeanDub]

Thanks man!

I like the tire sizes too, it makes it more subtle I think. But yeah, a little bit lower and I will be like

Do you have more poke in the front? I would space out the rears more if you do, but that's just me.

Looks good man but like they said a bit more low, with the back tucking just a bit of tire I think the front defently needs to be down more or you get that reverse rake look. In for updates.

Think you pulled the rear fenders too much, but with other tires you might pull it off.

Gl with the project.

[EThirtySicks]

What size tires are you running? They look pretty meaty.


All you need (IMO) is a slightly smaller tire and you'll be able to go plenty low.


ps I'm super jealous of the OZs

No... not really. They seem equal to me with the roll/flare.

The car is actually leveled with the front being a little (1/4") lower. It's the front tires.

You can see here:

Thanks.

Fronts are: 225/45

Rears are: 245/40



I was looking at 215/40 in the front, and 235/40 for the rear. Altho, would like to keep the rear with 245's... maybe a 245/35???






Thanks for the comments guys. Finally feels like we might be getting somewhere.

[Okin]

OK... time for an update....







Went from these:



To these:




And these 225/45's:



to 215/40's





Gotta get the rest of the suspension in (the rear) then corner balance it myself.

I need to get those celtics plates. Thats all I got. Project looks neat. I ran my mitos with alot of tire too. They look pretty good with it.

Sorry it's not slammed yet... We still have a ways to go with other parts before the slamming begins Front/Rear Brace and Camber Kit are next.


I like my Celtics Plates. It's a win situation all the way around. The Boston Green matches the team color and Childrens Hospital is who we support. It's almost as if they're Vanity. 328 for the car.

i really like where this is going, and looks 10x better on the smaller tires

My on and off Thule Rack. For the weekend bike rides with the kiddos.
