hey robert how do you like the traction from those 305's. i bet you can get a good launch outta it

 

wow how have I missed this thread. Sub'd

 

Really haven't broke them in. At the time of the photoshoot I was still working out fuel delivery issues. I'll be home in January and be able to beat on the car a bit more.

Also, the R888 tires are for drag racing. They are a road race r-compound tire.

 

Thanks German.. From that photo with the photoshoped calipers, the front was measure from ground to the bottom tip of the fender was roughly 24.5 inches. Cant stick my finger in there. Right now its at 26 inches front with more clearance and 26.5 in the back. I actually asked to have a bit more positive camber and IIRC somewhere around -1.2 to -1.4 in the rear. Don't exactly remember the front. I still need to get front camber kit. I already have the rear.

I think I want to go 25.5 inches up front and leave the rears the way it is. Always liked a little bit of raked look.

Can't wait to see what you got in store bro..



Thanks! Yeah I can't wait to have it painted as well

 

Thats low!
you my friend are doing things well...

lol... why did you raise it up...??? were you rubbing with your 245/40's? I too am thinking in going to 25.5 inches, maybe even 25 inches from ground to fender in the front...

the on ramp at work and lot at home have kept me from going any lower... i think i can manage... beauty of things is that ride height doesnt have to be permanent with coils...

yellow calipers on your ride would stand out and look beast!

 

Wasn't really the tires rubbing. It was more of my splitter scraping a lot going to work. Also, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go up my driveway when I move in to my house final height on my car will still be determined. I might try reversing to my garage just to keep a 25.5 inches ground to fender clearance. .

Sorry for misleading this thread guys. You can reply through PM German.

And yes.. I'm quite in love with the yellow already. Haha

 

Here's a better pic I took yesterday morning to show the current stance.

A proper G coupe!

 

looks beastly

 

Thanks broskis. I want that yellow calipers naow! Lol

 

No on the yellow!

 

Man this thread has grown quite a bit

 

That is what happens when you enjoy proper wheel & tire fitments.

 

ill have a fat tire setup next season for my sedan.

i did alot of thinking i couldnt make up my mind between low offsets and stretched tires or high offsets and fat tires. since my car is daily driver and i dont want fender pulling issues. i decided to go wit fat tires and offsets in high 30's with a 295 tire on 10.5 rim

robert did u find a setup for your sedan yet??

 

I haven't "locked" anything down. If I get wheels won't be till tax return season. Still leaning toward 19x9.5 +30 & 19x10.5 +40 with 245 & 285.
