Stuntin Is A Habit
Get like me
Just kidding. I hate that song but its stuck in my head now.
Yesterday I had a chance to go out and mount my wheels. Took a few simple pics with my point and shoot.
I'm going to setup a photoshoot with my buddy soon, so good pics on their way.
Frist, I took a look at the wheels, in closer detail
Anyone else notice CCW uses ARP bolts to hold their wheels together? Thought it was sort of neat.
Only 2 pictured of my LM5 cause like I mentioned previous, UPS forgot a wheel, so I just moved two in for a pic.
First I threw on the LM5 to have a look. In these pics, camber has not been corrected.
So for anyone wondering the LM5s are 18x8.5 + 29 Front and 18x9 +20 Rear. Tires are 205/40/18 front and 215/40/18 Rear
And now the LM20s
These pics were taken shortly after my alignment.
My front camber is -3 Degree my rear is -5.2, I still scrape pretty hard on the rear, and my fender is rolled on all four. I've also got all my bumper tabs hammered damn near flat against the bumper.
Damn.. my car is pretty dirty. And brand new tires look pretty dirty too, since they aren't all shined up.
Took some pics when I got home that night, too
So now I'm stuck with a dilemma...
I want to go lower, but my Tein basics are maxed out so I'd like to have get new coilovers. I was considering From and Function type 2 but if I go lower I'd have to dial in even more camber. Perhaps -6 degree rear and -3.5 or -4 front. For a daily driven car that seems a bit excessive.
OR
I could go air, and not worry about alignment. Problem with this, obviously, is that alignments on air never stick, since the suspension geometry is constantly moving.
What should I do, guys?
