  • something a little different

    **May 12th --- UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST

    I know this wont be the style of car most of you love, but the fitment is there.. im sure there wil be lots to say about it

    1994 probe gt had it since 17(5 years) .. I am lowest in Canada, maybe north america, dont really know, and i am the first person to ever run a 9.5 wide rear wheel

    the unfortunate part is i couldnt do any form of research as to what fit.. and being in college and beyond broke, i got 1 chance to buy a set of wheels and either use them or im "****ed" .. got lucky i could make them work.

    wheels are 18x9.5 +25 rear and 18x8.5 +27 front .. 225/40/18 all the way around (front tire choice sucked, but i got a deal on the set, and like i said.. budget build ahha)

    2 degrees of camber in the rear.. once i get more camber bolts ill run 4 degrees.. probes seem to dump and still have 0 degrees!

    yonaka coils.. maxed out in the front, and about an inch more i can do in the rear, except the inner lip of my wheel is inside the adjustment rings,cant go any lower without a bigger spacer


    My coilover takes the paint off my rim.. im that close .. anyways im sure all you guys more then understand

    heres a few pics













    Homemade fender roller!



    Height reference



    it settled to fit a 2x4 exactly

    Oh p.s i daily drive this car.. like 100%, its the only car i have insured and i hwy commute 120 kms a day in it!

    ***MAY 12TH UPDATE!

    car needed a lot of love this winter, and was not truely happy with it, so here it goes..

    Got 18x9.5s' for the front as well now.



    225/40/18 stretched on

    time for a new heart


    out with the old, in with the new


    probe and roomates sti


    Mocking up my next little project


    new engine, poly mounts and stage II clutch in..


    first test roll



    I also did escort strut mounts since my coils were maxed and i wanted more low. Side skirt now sits 1.25 inches, and the stance is set!

    i also have 20mm for the rear, 10mm are on it right now.

    Final wheel specs will be

    18x9.5 +15 rear, 18x9.5+35 front



    Heres a short vid of it rolling, new engine in, open headers, no turbo on yet

        I've always liked that body style. The sleek mid 90's era designs are some of my favorite.

        The body kit makes the car look really low. I think if you removed it and lowered the coilovers more, it would be perfect.

          thanks guys! i sometimes agree with the body kit thing.. but it was so much work to get it to the point it is i cant justify going back now.. if i was going to do that, id do another prob from the start, which really if im doing that ill just do another car.. im thinkin next car is a NB miata.

          the body kit does make the car look wild coming up on you on the hwy

                    This is soo funny... I swear today, I was driving by a pristine Probe GT... I was thinking to myself, "man that car would look great laid out."

                    This thing has great potential... I hope you kept the stock bumpers and skirts, because this thing laid out with a OEM look would be amazing.. just my .02.

                      Ive been talking about stancing a probe for a while now... My friends take it as a joke but i honestly think its a car that has potential!!! Way to go being different!!

                      I do agree with Ben (Jedidiah), put the stock pieces back on and lower it more Welcome to the site!

                          Sick oem body lines.
                          I agree about going back to stock with slam. Times have changed my friend.

                              I dig that. I remember my best friend had a probe back in like 98/99. Purple GT. sh1t was sick. I've always like the body lines of it. That, the MS6, and the 240 all have similar silhouettes.
