I can respect these!

AkaJabari · 08-04-2012, 09:56 PM

I mean that it was significantly harder to modulate any sort of oversteer with just the throttle given the stock power levels and the wider contact patch if that makes sense.

I gotcha. Hopefully ill be able to dial in the KWs to get what I want out of them.

What were your alignment specs in those pics? Camber specifically.

Wolfking · 08-30-2012, 06:00 PM

When I read the title I thought to myself "Noooooooooo!" then I saw your pic. Man, was I wrong! Nice! It does however horrify me that this is a "track" set up. Happy washing!

Those pics were taken right after the coilovers were put on. And they were set for the lowest ride hight so I'm not sure of the specs there. It has since been raised to about 1.25" below stock and am running 2.7 front and 2.2 rear.

Nice! I don't know that much about Rota wheels, are they generally good quality/lightweight? I've just heard contrasting things about them.

-max- · 08-30-2012, 07:05 PM

I would call them upper entry level. Most are not real light. These are 19.?lbs for 17x 9.

Jdogg180 · 08-30-2012, 07:55 PM

You should post some more pics. Love the car!

KWs are great! Really livable ride with shock soft with plenty of adjustment when you her serious. $2k range.

I'm not a fan of Rotas, but I understand... your set costs about the same as one Volk CE28 wheel hehe. Your car does look awesome!! It looks like you nailed the offset. Great job! I think 17x9 is about the perfect wheel for this car... especially once we have some good power adding options. So you don't have any rubbing lock to lock on the fronts with the 9s?
