Coilover / Aggressive Fitment Questions

[ToyoSolV6]

Is this him? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA-CL ... ccessories Also, Can it be drill to hide the screws? If it hide the screw I'll pick up one since they're cheap.

you gotta do some custom work to fit this babyy on its not too easy i guess lol

^Truth, I wasn't up to the task, hence why I sold it to you. Plus, I'd have broken it off several times by now.

ok, back in the action!

found out that the coilovers had alot more room to go lower, and i made it happen. went down another inch in the front, but haven't touched the rear yet. as far as the rear goes, i've rolled the fenders.

currently waiting on the money to get here and order my front lip and a set of 17X9 +35's XXR 962. thought i'd update you guys and then make you wait a couple of weeks to see any progress

Can't wait to see the pictures man.

nice the 962's are dope! those were actually going to be the set i was going to go with

[Toy1mzfe]

sounds koo. cant wait to see the new drop.

[napster_atk]

quick update. i have a ABS 97 CL lip on the way. i saved up the money to but the wheels, but another issue came up so those have been delayed for a couple of month now, which really sucks because i was trying to get stanced for import alliance's fall meet. oh well, i'm going to order bigger spacers for the back and put the rear spacers on the front and vive it more camber.

[ToyoSolV6]

your going to run spacers on the current wheel set up or with the new wheels coming in?

[napster_atk]

i'm thinking about running spacers on the current wheel until i get new wheels.

[ToyoSolV6]

what offset are you going to go for?

[napster_atk]

i have 17x8 +45 wheels. im getting 25mm spacers for the front, and 35mm for the rear. it should put me close to flush...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you might rub like that. maybe 15mm in fron and 25 in rear.

True statement.

+45 with +25 spacer will put you at +20 offset with 8" depending on your tire you can do it. if your tires are tall I wouldn't. You will need to strech the tire some more.

I have ALLOT of work done to my fenders to get the 8.5" with +20 offset to work. Not only that but I still rub when having 3 or more ppl in the car.

Front for 8" I wouldn't have your offest lower then +25. You will run into rubbing issues not on the fender itself but the clips along the fender well that will catch your tire and rip the lining out. I rolled my front fenders and grinded all the clips off to fit 8.5" +35 offset when I was slammed.

Maybe run 15mm spacer up front and 30mm in the rear to get a nice fitment. On the Solara Platform the rear wheels sit about 15mm's more in the rear compared to the front due to the body panels and how they were mounted to the car.

this is not the more agressive set-up but will work for what you have. The largest spacer I think you should run is 30mm. no more then that or else you will be putting more stress on the wheel hub aseembly.

Just some information I have learn from my trial and errors

[ToyoSolV6]

Yeah 25mm offset in rear will put you pretty much close to flush, that what im doing im awaiting my spacers and ill be at 25mm in the rear and 30mm in the front.
