17x10's with 275/40/17's rear and 17x9 with 245/45/17's up front, maxspeed springs, no iso's up front, energy suspension iso's out back. new tokico HP's (blues) all around, MAC c/c plates and UPR uppers and lowers. like other's have said, rides pretty decent.

sorry no new pics, it's still torn down from my paint project, but you get the idea...

I'm running Eibach Pro Kit springs with isolaters, but i had to cut off 3/4 coil off the rear springs because i didn't like the rake that they give. Now it sits nice and level.

Great guys thanks!

I am really not worried about the rear as of yet. I'll save those for later. The front sits WAY up in the air. On the driver's front I can fit my hand sideways in between the tire and the fender. On the passenger side I can "fit all four fingers" hehe.

The car doesn't feel right over 50 mph and I have a feeling this may be the problem.


I see many are using Maxspeed... Where do you get them? How much are they?

Also,

Are you guys with 17x9's in front running the inner fender well?

I was looking last night and I don't think I'll need spacers. I bought my 17x9's with the correct back spacing. The last set I had needed spacers but these sit outside the fender a bit.

stiff.

My buddy did that a long time ago to the car I own. Then he replaced the springs with "factory" springs which are causing the problems that lead us to this thread.

What's a rack limiter?



Oh wait that's the deal that keeps the steering from over steering and rubbing and stuff right?

How much are those?
