What are you lowered on?

OjiGeorge · 06-18-2013, 12:35 PM

Tarmac II with rear camber bushings and front camber bolts. Next upgrade will be camber plates.

The camber bolts are not giving me enough front camber correction for a staggered setup.

Minus the coils we could be twins, literally... nice photos!

Just upped the front camber to -2.4 and will report if the understeer is lessened adequately. Swift autosport in Vancouver recommended that I switch to a 245 square, although I will prob just up the fronts from 235/40's to 245/35's and leave the rears at 255.

For the record, if you go with slotted struts such as: KW V3, Tarmac II or Tarmac 0's, you are better off with the factory crash bolts as opposed to the whiteline front camber bolts. The Whiteline camber bolts are good for a stock setup, but you can't get them torqued down enough without stretching the bolts on the slotted struts. you can torque those factory bolts down good without worry. As an added bonus I have been able to get about 0.5 degrees of additional camber correction out of the factory camber bolts over the whiteline camber bolts, on a slotted strut.

After looking at countless wheels without looking at labels...the only wheel that fit the look color and size were the Rota RT5.

Was really close to pulling the trigger for Enkei T6S, unfortunaley that wheel only came in 3 finishes that I didn't like.

Reading reviews on Rota, people make it sound like this wheel will explode on the highway. I assume Rota wheel should be at least better than the stock FRS wheel or even my steelies with hubcaps on my XB.

Its funny that people make comparissons to authentic jordans or fake jordans. Personally for daily walking or playing BBall on outdoor courts...no I would not wear Jordans. I would wear a lower quality shoe and save the Jordans for indoor courts.

All those premium brand wheels are a bit overkill for daily driving use and the occasional spirited drive on the highway arent they?

Wouldn't ROTA have tons of lawsuits if their wheels were life threatening? I am not defending nor promoting Rota. I just want to make the right decision on my purchase.

Love the look of the RT5. Which wheel were they 'inspired' by?

Cheers

@Parappa

Where I live, most of the streets are in awful condition so I dont see the point of getting a premuim wheels, I prefer to spend money in good tires and other goodies instead.

Advan GT.
