how she sits now.

within the next month im going to prepare to get it kitted painted. ill post new pictures friday when i get my Ssr 17'' on it. :)

cant say i like the addition of white.. but nice choice on coilovers, Night and day difference huh? People here are usually scared of coilovers but they are a great even on the street. how do you like them? whered you set the camber plates at in the front?

oh yeah, get some screws for that steering wheel!

$800 for a brand new set? Nice, wish I could've found that deal when I was looking for coilovers. Funny cause the first thing I did with my fc is what you just did to yours, now you need some wheels to back up that drop.

+1
What are your plans for the car ? (usage wise)

oh i love my coils. love the adjustments on it. in back im negative 3 camber in front im negative 2. oh yeah thats a old pic i got screws in now aha. thanks thou.

yeah brand new still in box. i was super lucky. saved 400 so made me very happy aha. im getting my wheels tomorrow so ill have pics with them on mounted soon. =D excited.

ive been drifting it since my Lsd still kicks in alot and my suspension is set up for it. but im planning on retiring my fc soon since i got my ae86 running again. so most likely it will become a daily driver. =p

What the deuce?? :)

I like the dropped on stock rims look, so... Nice!!

aha ty but its time i get rid of the ghetto paint look.

looks good bro. nice 'n' low on the stock socks. but need to get rid of all that neg camber in the rear. keen to see the hachi get some attention. 13bpp it!

thanks man. im probably going to switch my coils to 0 camber on since its being daily driven

Good choice, wearing out narrow tires for no reason isn't cool.

get a rear camber link to take some of that out, they are cheap

I got these babies today =D. 750$ going on in a weak or so.
rears are 17x8 +32 and fronts are 17x7 +32

What size tires are you planning to run?

i have no clue atm. can you give me some tips. i dont have much knowledge on tires

Beautiful wheels! 215/45 - 225/45 would work decent

(ps the color in your sig is painful to look at)

thanks man. is that sizing skinnier tires?

dont hate on my sig -.- aha jk ive been told.

you mean stretched? i have 8.5s on the rear of my fc with 205s and they are stretched but not super. i would say those tyre sizes given are straight up and down

idk. cause right now im 5 fingers off the ground and i rub with 15s on when i go into turns. fenders are rolled but the tires i have now are just to fat. so im guessing ill rub with 17s bc i rub with 15s. idk im not sure. tires are confusing to me for some reason.

yeah if you rub now and you have rolled guards and you are switchin to 17s, depending on offset you probably will need to go for stretched tyres. best bet would be to take it in to a reputable tyre shop and hang around and explain your situation and what you need.

-.- i dont trust shops usually but im going to most likely have to go with what u said.

yeah me neither but its pretty hard to be a bad tyre fitter with the exception of scratching rims

i want tires. -.-

got the rears on. =D low res pic but here it is.
