Yeah, my **** is dropped all the way in tha rear, but still needs another inch or so(now ill mess with the spring perch to lower it). tires are 235/40/17 with the 9.5 and stretch a bit, ill get some 225's later for less traction, cuz it already grips too much to initiate a drift. Those weapons look fresh!!! i dont think youll have any fitment issues with that offset. if anything ya might need to roll it out a bit, without any spacers.

This sunday i pulled my coilovers off to change the spring (rate) and found the fronts are 12's(i custom ordered 10's). i ended up changing the rears from a 13 to 12 and the car feels well balanced. im happy with the suspension now, i got a chance to do some 3rd gear manjis, but we'll see at Firebird this weekend.

Tatakai what size tire are you planning on running? you shouldn't need a spacer at all, i have 17x9.5 + 15 all around, i had to roll the lip in the rear, no pull. i have about -1 degree of camber in the rear with a 225/45 and its close but clears. my fronts i had to roll and pull slightly but not to much.

ahh so you're nate/ryan/johns buddy, i was trying to find you're post with the specs for comparison, cuz i remember seeing a pic of your car on those and how they were pretty much perfect fit without spacers.

215/45 falken rt615 in the front, 215/45 federal 595ss in the back

also hope to be sending my knuckles to lindsay next week, otherwise i'd definately be doing 225/45 in the front

They DO set up a 3rd gear first corner sometimes. Pretty bad ***. My bro with the RHD 240 KILLS it! I think he is in OC Md this weekend tho. Plus his car is at Hybrid getting tuned.

i doubt you'd want to make the treck, but there's only going to be one more event there for the year, the guy running the events is just eating the cost too much. it's Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon. the only reason i've started going there is to support the guy. a big accident happened a few months back that jepordized drifting at the track all together, and ever since then there really hasn't been anyone showing up. last event had MAYBE 15 cars.

$75 to drive, $10 to watch. they used to just use turns 1, 2, and 3, and a month ago they had an all-day all-track event that was pretty epic. but that i think put the nail in the coffin. all-day all-track event and only 15 cars showed up. TONS of seat time for drivers, but the guy is just losing so much money.
