I like stance, do you?

[LandoAWD]

The offset/width looks nice, but 225s on a 9.5"...yeesh.

Stretched tires are for bozos.

It might be a little lower when it's all back together...

What did you do to correct roll center, or are you just dealing with the negative effects (like bumpsteer)?

To be quite honest I've never really gotten that in depth with the car, it's never seen a track (yet) and I hardly put any miles on it in the time it was together. It's currently undergoing a... transformation.

I've never noticed any bump steer, though. The wheels are 17x8 +35 offset with 245/40/17's with K-Sport coilovers running -2.5º camber all the way around... Not too extreme of a setup.

It's definitely something I'll look into... Got any recommendations? I'm honestly not even sure if I'm going to lower it any more than in the pictures.

^ This man has taste.

The green one looked pretty sweet too, but i would ditch the 225's and go with some 245's

 

[yoshi_tony]

Damn does everyone has to quote the picture?? Great looking 2g man, I like it.

you just have to! when their that sweet

when tires are a little wider than the car it gives it an aggresive look

atomhouse your 1g is very clean props man

 

[SD_TSI]

Only time I have ever liked 2ga front bumpers. And lower the front more. It's really odd when there is that much gap on the front compared to the back.

And can we get more and possibly better res pics?

I'm ditching the suspension I have now shortly for a new set of coilovers, but I agree with you about the front of the car.

Once I get a day off from work I'll take my good camera out and take some better pictures of it, the camera phone doesn't do the wheels justice.

225's are pushing it with my suspension, I need to roll the fenders for more clearance. 245's are out of the question with these wheels. The 225's give me roughly a finger gap between the tire and the fender, so you can imagine what a 245/40 would do...

I was actually anticipating alot of negative comments from those pictures . Glad you guys like seeing something different.

Nice 1g up there btw...

It's already too low. The biggest problem with our cars is that there are no easy remedies available for roll center when you lower it - though some have built their own solutions using taller ball joint stems and others have modified their control arms. It might look cool lowered, but it creates issues with suspension geometry and can actually make the car handle worse than when it's not lowered. That's why you'll notice that the DSMs that see the track (road course/autocross) aren't that low. General rule of thumb is that lowering it more than 1.5" will have adverse effects. I've been trying to get control arms created that will address this and will allow us to lower the cars more to handle better, but without those adverse effects.

I like low cars, but if you're doing it, do it right and make it handle better at the same time. I'm all about making it functional. You got the right wheels, you're almost there.

How much of a drop did you do with the ksports?? What are you changing now on your setup suspension wise?? Side not I've always loved your car and it's been a inspiration to my new setup.

Thanks Alex

I'm not really changing anything with the suspension other than all poly bushings, etc.

This is what the car looks like right now.

Why is there an office chair in the engine bay?

 

[LandoAWD]

Maybe it's his office...

It's much easier to weld lower in the engine bay when you're sitting down.

High resolution of some wrong fitment (since that is what this thread is about):

Those are some sexy rims! What are they?

 

[ncampos92562]

They are rota grids. He said that earlier.

And I think there is too much poke for my taste. But your car looks good. Definitely the first I've seen of dsm in the scene.

 

[meliketoball]

Sorry SD TSI, but I am going to kopykat your wheels and tire set up.

 

[SD_TSI]

I don't mind!

Our cars will almost be like twins

 

[yoshi_tony]

If you see first page i commented on an evo with gold rims i wanted those rims and now you came along and made me love those rims even more! i going to have to copy you too SD TSI

 

[avenged5]

Rims are ok but damn I love that lip.

 

[dsmrollerz90]

How about mine?

 

[Doubleot]

[dsmrollerz90]
