Previous post of mine saying yes it fits, but i have no idea on stock suspension components. I posted my camber spec's in the post.

Yes i do drive spirited quite often. But I plan on getting a slightly less aggressive track wheel setup as i did not want as aggressive offset on this car, and I want to have the ability to run a larger rear. If it was +42 or +45 i would have been much happier as fitting a 255 is going to be tight. At least with the ability to "drive" the car (vs hard parking and showing off how hella flush you are).

@nelsmar do you have anymore pictures of your enkei setup? i was looking at getting the same thing on argento

Do anyone know of the clearance for this setup?
Would it be rubbing on the fenders and springs/shocks?
I'm currently still @ stock springs/shocks
I do some aggressive driving on mt pass roads early morning's inthe weekends and also wonder how this setup would affect its handling.
Thanks

i'm running 18x9,5 +38 all around with 245 40 18 nitto nt05s on kw coil overs. some camber adjustments and no issues and the car handles MUCH better. I also have all of cusco's bracing components as well.

That's a sick setup
Looks hella good

In the end I didn't pull the trigger as it's too aggressive for me
But damn that'll look sick on my firestorm and its gold

I was thinking of matching it with the kw v3 also but since my funds are running low I might have to settle with eibach sporline or a cheap set of coilover for a few months
But I don't really want to waste the $$ for springs or cheap seet of coilovers since I know I'll upgrade to the v3

Just look through your build tread.
Very tastefully built
Nice and clean

ah yeah the kw are amazing coilovers! you won't regret that decision if you get those. if you need the specs for alignment and camber. pm me and i can provide the settings when you're ready.

Thanks in advance
I actually rode in a few different springs and coilover setups
Swift , eibac sportline , tien mono flex , stance and kw v3
Of all of them I really like the setup on kw v3 best
To me stock is actually well tame for dd and spirited driving but the v3 takes it to anothe level
Feels more comfortable than stock and when you push it the 86 just sticks so much better
It'll be an investment I know I won't regret

By the way, my coilovers are on and now I have 4 to 5 inches of clearance in the front. RCE Tarmac 0's are pure awesomeness.

Congrats on your new setup
Got any pics how it looks?
I'll definitely look into RCE
hopefully I can find someone in my area that's willing to let me ride in so I can get a better feel
I always want 1st hand experience before I make any mod investment because everyone have a different opinion and approach to the part like intake / exhaust / springs / coilovers that's why I enjoy going to meets just to experience what mods others have

I'll post some pics. I'm exhausted from doing the install in an apartment complex alone.

Never gonna do a big job like by myself again
