Ehh, this must be before work, I don't think the owner would try to drive with shoulder like that. As far as specs, no one has really gone all out when it comes to stretch + width + low offset. I like to keep a decent sized tire on because I can't stand not being able to drive a sports car fast, which is largely why I never went that route. Mike from Vegas' setup is sick but I know there's room for more. Hopefully this guy can make it work!

My only problems are the rear exhaust piping, diff and the front lip and the little metal plates that hang below the front wheels area. Oh and the midpipe bolt connecting to the header, that always likes to grab a bump (pretty sure it's cracked now).

Ouch, full lock to the right, and fucked up the passenger side fender/or vice versa? When drifting I'd imagine the weight may be tossed over to that side - luckily with grip, the weight stays off of the danger side of the front fenders.



Heh, I think that's tbk's car - I mean, how many PB's are there in his area with shaved badges?

Correct sir, I did end up beating into submission with the hammer still looks like ****. The pic doesn't show much cuz its a black car but its still creased in the
middle and all the little creases around it.



BTW found out wtf was bottoming out back there, check this out, talk about shitty engineering, I haven't received a calls from D2 yet but supposedly they are getting it worked out.. told em an easy fix would be to send me 8k springs but you know, what does John Smith know about his own setup.

Wow, so the coil was rubbing on what looks like a control arm? Sorry I didn't reply back to your question earlier, I haven't experienced such issues. As far as the fender goes, that doesn't look too bad... Did you already have them pulled out before?

Naw its not rubbing on the control arm, the springs are too soft and the coils are actually bottoming out on each other.

Those fenders though are hidious lol, my last car had pulled fenders similar to that but that is just too functional.

Do you know the spring rate of the springs that are on there now? Just curious what they used...
