going to purchase MM tubular a arms in the next few days so i can put the coil overs on..ill be using the stock k for a little but then that will be replaced too...i need to do coilovers real quick because this light ass block has caused my front end to raise a little bit and its bugging the hell out of me..

i can get a crazy good deal on MM a arms but the ones i can get for waaaay cheap are the offset ones.. does anyone have a pic of the offsets on their car? i dont really want to mess with the wheel base, i would rather have the stock wheel base and for the front tires to be in the stock position.. is there any real difference between the handling of the offsets and the standards?

any advice towards which way to go would be great guys...throw up any other ideas if you got em :nice:
 
Those MM arms are offset to the front, right? Normally, that is done to improve handling. If you push the front wheels forward, it takes a slight bit of weight off the front tires and gives a smaller moment of intertia on the front when you are trying to turn. So yes, the offset arms do have an advantage of better handling.
 
can you tell by looking at the wheels they are pushed forward? i want the handling but i dont want the car to look goofy either...

im actually going with an 87-93 strut with the coilover kit..seems to be the way to go..you can go lower with those...and im running a 475lb spring rate...would i really need to go offset or would sticking to standard do me just fine?

bill, id go qa-1 but i get MM stuff for mega cheap otherwise id look that route too...still might though, just gotta check on other things first cause i already bought the coilover springs, just havnt decided which strut to go with...
