here ya go, vas. the front is adjusted as high as it can go. seems low to me. rear is a tad lower than stock, maybe 10mm.

and the car is dirty. reeeeeal dirty.

[Vas]

Still looks good being dirty.

As far as the height, I think it is fine and the wheel gap is even between the front and rear.

But when you compare the front now to stock, it is much lower.

[slater]

yeah, i wanted it a little bit lower in the front, but not this low. whatever. it is what it is.

one interesting thing to note today - i swapped my 10mm spacers in the back for 12.5mm spacers (installed in the pics above), and i can actually feel the 5mm of extra width back there when driving. the car is less neutral (more understeery) - it's a small difference, but still there. crazy.

going back to the 10's.

Wow. Who'd a thunk it...?

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous

joined the GB for some of this goodness.

[Ssparrow]

Those things look good! I was very tempted to join that GB as well...

there's still time! and it has already reached $200 off + free shipping - go for it! these suckers are 18.4lbs each - that's almost 2lbs lighter than my 17" Style 68s! woohoo!

Nice! I'm sure you'll love them. Are you going with a square setup or staggered?

EDIT: I thought Style 68s were closer to 21 and 22 lbs front/rear.

they're about 20.5lbs front, 21lbs rear. on my scale anyway...

yep, square setup - 18x8.5 ET38.

i considered going 18x8.5 ET38 and 18x9 ET42, but that's effectively ET36 for an 8.5" wheel, which with a 255/35/18 tire at my camber settings, would rub - badly. so i'm going square with a 235/40/18 tire. might try out some koni yellows and stock springs with them, too...
