Now on to my pics of the car!!

Took her out today to make sure everything was good after the winter suspension overhaul. I ended up leaving about 3/4 inch gap between the fender and tire( all you flush lovers back off:)) My reasoning is my damnper settings are semi-soft, 12 clicks past soft and these roads here SUCK ASS. Second reason I went with that ride height was with 235's up front are BEEFY and with my camber plates maxed, I wouldn't get much of a tuck....actually none at all. My tire would chew the shit out of my pretty fender and I dont want that:leaving:.

Anyway I had no issues except for the annoying smell of my new turbo blanket burning up:cuss:.....headache from the fumes. No clunks, no bushing noise, nothing which is rare from my constantly-breaking POS FC.

Here are the pics, enjoy....

Overall I am happy with the results of both my wheels and suspension. That was a shit load of work but worth it. 900 miles to go on break in and the real fun begins!

I love it. Looks awesome. :icon_tup:

Damn Sean, probably the best looking, cleanest FC I've ever seen. You should be very proud..... DAYUM.

Those are 17x8,9 +28 F&R right? Making me want a set of 5mm spacers.

Did you move the allen bolts around?
I noticed that in your pic there's extra holes in the "center" of the plate - this is typical of most camber plates.
You can remove the bolts from the "top" and reinsert them in the lower positions, allowing you the get more adjustment.
Unless the sliding camber block is hitting something?


-Ted

Ted's right, exact same thing with my c/o's as well. There shouldn't be anything inside the tower that will limit you to 1.5. IIRC I'm running about -3 with a little more to go

Thank you! I do too.

Thanks Brian, coming from Mr. OCD himself that means a lot :)

Go for the spacers.

Thanks Ted!!! I didn't even notice that.
