They sure aren't the lightest wheels that's for sure. Next time they are off of the car I will get a weight on them for you.

what do you feel is the appropriate amount of camber f/r for strictly street duty?

On a more stock car in the front I would suggest picking up some camber bolts and running as much camber up front as possible.

The rear is non adjustable from the factory, ours was 1 degree different from left to right so we needed to either do bushings or arms.

We opted for the arms for ease of install and had them in stock.


Overall a -1.5 front and rear will work out well on a very much stock street car.

Mine was 1 degree off as well and went with the same arms, install is so much easier than the camber bushing and the adjustment is pretty nice too. I am running -1.3 up front and -1.5 in the rear currently seems perfect for the street.

Camber Bolts

We started off with just doing eccentric camber bolts up front in the lower holes.


We were able to get a max of -1.6 on the right but only -1.2 on the left.

do you think i'll have to run -2.7 in the front to fit 18x9.5+40 255/35/18 star specs on the car? the car will be on coilovers so i think i'll have more clearance and i plan to lower it to have essentially almost no visible wheel gap.

how do you like the mach v springs, i kind of want to make them my winter/stock strut setup and coils for summer/track.

loved your products on my sti, and i had a blast at your facility on the 48hrs two years ago! hope all is well!

You should be good to go from a fitment standpoint on that wheel/tire setup.

We have not had the chance to test out the Mach-v springs yet. As soon as we get a chance we will have these tested and post a review.

We really appreciate hearing this type of stuff from customers. This is exactly why we do why we do!
