RE-SPEED camber kit installed so now my wheels fit! with a twist tho.. pics inside
 

well after 3 months my work wheels arrived and i was a little nervous when to my dismay the front tires were resting on the fenders!! so, i contacted billy at re-speed and he set me up with some camber plates.. however here is the twist, they still use the stock style spring(im currently happy with my ST springs) so i was able to save some cash (for now)i will be getting coilovers eventually.. so for all you rx owners that want extra camber but dont have the cash to do the whole coilover setup, you dont have to!
thanks billy for a high quality product and great customer support!!
some pics now.....

nice set up!

That looks sweet. What size, offset rims and tires? I currently have Eibach springs (prokit) on my cars. I fiunally took ther plunge and bought rims and tires. My tire size is 205/50/16, rim size 17x7 42mm offset. The tire rubs on the front spring! see attached photo.
I am trying to figure out how to correct it. If I can't, then I am sending the rims & tires back.

simple fix, you need to run a 40 series tire,(with my 17" tires i ran a 215-40-17 with no rubbing,) or get a coilover kit from billy.. there is more tire clearence with the narrow springs associated with the coilovers

um....lets see under the hood.......of that gmc :) and the 7 of course!

run a 6mm spacer i had 215/40/16's on the front with a spacer for 3 years, just gone to 215/35/18's again with a 6mm spacer no rubbing will go without a spacer once my ReSpeed kit turns up

rimes look nice...

Looks good Robert. I ran the camber plates without coilovers for most of last year's season. But yeah, with the coilovers you have a lot more clearance for the tires and you can get more camber out of the camber plates than with RB or ST style springs (or stock).

ST- Suspension Techniques.

Are those wheels 4x110 or 4X114.3?

damnit, almost another double post

I think the consensus is that the 50 series profile is too tall. The 45 series looks like it work work but maybe I better get the 40 to be sure. Discounttiredirect listed the 205/50/16's as a replacement size.

Looks really good Robert.....
Please give us the specs on the wheels...Size and Offset???
Also, is that the 4x110 or 4x114.3 pattern??

Thanks

the wheels in the front are 15X8 on a 4X114.3(4 inch polished lip)
rear is 15X8.5 0n a 4X100(5 inch polished lip)

im running 195-50-15 tires all around

Those are the COOLEST rims I have ever seen on an FB!!!!!!!!! Do ya mind me asking how much they were?!?! :)

What about the Offsets???

They look to be on the NEGATIVE side. I have some Panasports with a ZERO offset and they stick out a little less than that..
Are you going to run flares or leave it like that?
Thanks

they are + 7 front and rear.. im shortening the rear axle 1" on each side.. the front is fine thanks to billys camber kit :)
no flares for me, the stock body lines are perfect

Sexy FB rob!

Looks awesome, Robert! Keep up the amazing work! I can also vouch for the quality and customer service from Billy, great guy and excellent product!

some pics now.....


No prob. Looks good. Did it turn out to be as painless of an install as promised?
Neat pic!

[QUOTE=bwaits;8160031]
easy as pie.. thanks again

sad thing is the gmc will smoke the red car.. its got tons of mods, arp 5/8" head stud kit, head gaskets, 35 pounds of boost, reflashed ecu(heavily modded programming), fully built allison tranny, aftermarket lock up converter, stacked turbos, 5" exhaust... you get the pic.. its in the high 400 rwhp range with over 1100 foot pounds of torque... he has spent ALOT of money on that truck, let me tell ya

So what if he can beat ya, he also spent a flippin lot more than you on his truck than you on your car!!!! If you could put just as much money in the 7 as he did in the truck you would kill him!!!! lol ;) And besides, I would way rather be looking at th rx7 than a dumb truck............ :)

I agree..... STOCK body lines look so perfect....

L8R

wow....you nailed it. That is exactly what I was looking for setup wise for my project. I will have a few questions later when i get to suspension

LOVE the meisters!!! now i must know.. i realize your running roughly 4 1/2 - 5" inches of backspace.. I love the outside clearance to the fender. now question. how close are you running to the inside spring? 1/2 inch? or more. trying to find out if i can fit a 9" rim with some stretch tires and some camber (not to much camber though...only like 2 degrees.)
