Looks great man, what's your setup if you don't mind me asking?
Wheels
Suspension

Also out of curiosity, how long do your tires typically last you? that last pic looks like you have a tasteful amount of -camber. Nothing too crazy, just wondering if you get a reasonable lifespan out of your rubber.

18x9.5 +10 225/40

Stance coilovers
Racing beat sways/ end links
AutoEXE strut towers

And we will see how long they last I just lowered it down more and added not camber. Typically if toe is in check which mine is I expect 10k+ on the rears

Because Sam is too low to be seen, and he doesn't invite me for his fancy photo shoots.

I do think you invited me to the last one but my wife was crabby so I tried to stay out of trouble. I also have cords showing on my front tires and still need to put the new 255s on and lower it so I rub more.

I like the look of these wheels, almost have me considering going away from concave.

Looks so good rolling.

... at the risk of sounding like a grumpy 'ol curmudgeon

I bet a stock wheel/tire/suspension combo would turn better lap times. Since when did stance become more important than handling?

Sorry to be a jerk btw ... overall, sweet ride

And if you or any of the other STL guys want a Professional shoot, let me know. You'll probably have to come to me in Jeff Co, if you're up for the drive.
