Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread
Worked out some kinks today:
Adjusted the stiffness of the suspension. The fronts were at around 11/16 and we put them to 16/16, but the rears..... The rears were at 1/16!!! No wonder my wheels were slamming into the fender! I put them to 16/16 and surprisingly the ride is much better at full stiff all around.
My friend (when following in another car) said the rear still tucks all the way on bumps but I don't hear the wheel slamming into the fender as much.
Still need to work out some minor kinks but at least it's drivable again.
Oh, my camber is now at:
-3.97 -4.00
-4.28 -4.29
I don't know how you got the rear to -5+, cause mine maxed at -4.8ish...

my spec sheet said -5.6 rear and i'm on stock alignment parts. i guess i can get it checked out again when i realign the fronts eventually. maybe after school gets out. glad you got it all sorted out though! and i'm diggin that burnout lip. i might have to pick one up for myself one of these days for the daily drivin lowness
edit: i posted a picture of my spec sheet a while back on here. maybe i can find it and repost it

he's one of the few guys in socal that will align a dumped car hahah. apparently he's THE go to guy if you're in the fitment scene. he's done it all. i guess it's like a "since i'm the only one that does it, everyone has to come to me" kind of thing. i don't blame him hahah. more customers for him 
here's the sheet if anyone was interested

Some old guy owns this hole in the wall alignment place downhere in the 626 and he built his own rig to align dumped cars hahah he's supposed to be real good. Lots of good reviews on yelp and stuff but I forgot their name. And then you can always go to wheelhouse, which is also in the 626. Looks like you're coming to the 626 hahah!
I'm with atilla lol I went to a place over in the 818 and they said "your car is to low" 
I need to get an alignment tho I'm rubbing like crazy when I make left turns lol

Someone has to explain to me how tiltmode does it:
I have about the same poke in the rear but when I hit a bump, my tire and wheel tucks into the fender and bangs the top. I'm even running thinner tires than he is. Coilover stiffness is set to 16/16 as well...
What should I be looking at to fix this problem before I seriously damage a wheel?
