My honest opinion, Im not a big fan of different size rims/tires and offsets on fwd cars, BUT those rims are super hot. Very nice grab.

nice set up you got there. do i see rear camber? and how many inches is the drop on the car?

BlueEP3
03-21-2010, 09:26 PM
yes actually the front and rears are cambered... i don't know how much since im no alignment dude but i did take a micrometer to measer how much i cambered it to equal eachother. my drop is 2.75 i wanna go lower to tuck a bit. i need help on that one cus im trying to see whether i can change the spring on my coilovers to smaller ones and if it will be safe to DD the car with it on. you have any knowledge to it? if so help would be great. oh and by the way thanks!

It fits? Isn't the housing different? Did you have to modify anything beside making a hole in your jdm front bumper grill?
