ideally wanting it to look like this !! ( rim an height wise ) . only hoping to do it with some sort of setup with springs..

as i dont really wanna fork out for cert etc with adjusties! as they are pricy, unless all els fails..

possibly stiffer shocks or springs? , only thing is it will most likely guard rub aswell.. which would be nice to prevent haha

if anyone has any ideas, i am all ears !! thanks !

Oh and you can see he\'s rolled the guards. Look at the rears.

And you need the adjustment involved to get the height just right, with big offset wheels if its a bit too high, bit too low, bit too soft, you\'ll end up looking lame -or- chewing out tyres with guard rub

Big wheels and flush fitment means either having stiff enough suspension (like, very solid) to hold the rim in place, running a smaller offset so it can fit in the guard / flaring the guards, or just ignoring the scrubbing noise and wondering why you get pink stickers regularly

Does it have the stiffer sti shocks already? Probably got camber bolts up front which helps heaps if you want silly fitment/width wheels and add some in the rear. You can run whatever camber you want if you dont need a cert its only once you get a cert that the rules come into play. Super lows will do it just make sure you get sedan ones.

IMO destroyed not rolled...just my opinion. You can roll then pinch the lip and flare it a bit without it looking like a uras kit.

pretty sure its running V6 springs an shocks at present , bit stiffer than the V4 i think?

[thorpy]

If it was my car LOL

Unless your doing anything else that needs cert , id avoid going to coilovers.

Reason being is you will actually loose camber as it currently has more negative camber than what is allowed under the cert threshold.

Front is about 3 degrees , rear 1.1 degrees

I don\'t think it\'s worth trying to get the look when everythings against you since you don\'t want adjusties and you want it to not rub. It just won\'t work

[wootwoot]

yeah haha, where the adjusties are the only thing itl be getting for cert, hence why not entirely wanting to go through it unless was to have front mount set up, etc .. etc..

but i sorta thought it would have to be adjusties, was just chucking it out there incase anyone knew around it

cheers though people !

There is a very cheap set of D2 on here atm plus cert $450. You can wind in camber after the cert you just need a sheet that says it is correct. You can pack it out with washers to fudge the reading but 3deg is pretty noticeable and when its all #hellaflush it looks like it has heaps of camber anyway.

[DacerX]

in all honesty the car looks good how it is at the moment........

[wootwoot]

yeah, i have seen the cheap set on the forums, just dont have huge knowledge on adjusties , as all my other cars have had springs/shocks.. they are cheap, half the price of new!, wasnt 100% sure they would fit the coupe.. lol
