lookin good man love the new rims. you should definatly do a fender flare or somethin to widen the back of the car though


edit: lookin closer i see that you do have somethin on the back there.

 

WOW! I love that look!!!


Does it really performs better?! Cause it sure looks MUCH better IMO...
I always thaught that in order to compensate the understeer, we'll need wider front and not rear?



I actually love seeing streached tires...



Can you snap a pic from the side? I want to see the wheels better.
And as for the white.... I don't thik it's the best choice... but since you have a great taste, I'll sit and wait for the end result.

Well done!

 

i think the slight understeer is more a result of the coilovers than the offset changes. i know i got massive understeer stock and when i went with my ksports i almost cant induce understeer. ass end always want to break loose first.

 

well this may be true to an extent, but in my understanding... there are many factors that are the cause of understeer, one being Spring rate... (not coilover which makes you correct it does play a part... i simple stated that by elimanating certain aspects we can imporve steering. offset plays a role as the the center of gravity of the car. by having the rear wheels set wider a better center of gravity is acheived, this of course causes me to upgrade the rear sway bar and bushings because there is now more stress on the rear of the car helping to CARRY the overwhelming load on the front wheels

 

damper characteristics do play a role in steering geometry as well. play around with the settings between front and rear and you should be able to change it up a little bit. really any changes you make do. offset does as well, i just dont know how much of a change it did in your case because you went crazy and did nearly everything at the same time. wink1.gif

i had forgotten that i had done sway bars slightly after i did coilovers, and those did account for the biggest change in the change from under to oversteer.

either way what you did is awesome. good job. fing02.gif

 

Lovin those rims, they look awesome!

 

Nice rims, now all you have to do is paint your car ONE nice colour.

 

News pics.... now slamed smile.gif

 

Wow again, looks great!


Did you weight the rims? if so, how huch per rim?


If you can do me a personal favour... next time you take off your rims, can you please snap a pic with the wider rims in the front? I'm playing with this idea, and would love to see how it would turn out...

Thanks!

 

i'll try and put them up front but you do know that these wheels are 17x9.5 right? thats very very wide
