Rynberg is right; it has no engine, no transmission, and the coilovers haven't been touched. My drivetrain will add roughly 570 lbs. to the car, which will compress the front springs (550 lbs./in.) about an inch. Adjusting the coilovers will take care of the rest.
I suppose you're one of the idiots who thinks a car handles better if you've got a ton of negative camber and the tires are scraping the fender liners...
It has no motor in it, genius.

As for my wheel fitment.... I won't go there. You think putting 19s on a sports car is cool but GOD FORBID i run some wide wheels!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHH THE TYRES ARE OUT OF SPEC!!!!!

no, your blue FD doesn't look that much too high, I'd say an inch or two, so that would be about right after the motor is put in and they're adjusted.
and no, I don't think a car handles better with tons of - camber and slammed that low. I think it looks better, lol, but I don't think it handles better (neccesarily, although depending on what you compare it to it may...)

This thread was/is very entertaining. I just came in here to check out some pictures of 19's, since thats the size rims I purchased and are being built as we speak.
