for caster you mean? there's no rear axle. you can't adjust anything in the rear. everything's fixed.

you obviously know nothing about my rear axle...

i can adjust camber and toe. Also, if you loosen the two brackets that hold the axle to the car, you can move it a little side to side etc.

thats not a good idea on the stock rear TWB. the mounting provisions for the wheel bearings are really weak.

i see you taking **** about your ksport coilovers all the time, are they really that bad of a coilover?

i was looking into buying some, should i steer away from them? i mean im not gonna put my car through hard core turns and **** like you will be, im just looking for a replacement for my sportlines/SS/SC FE5's

in your case i would got with ss/tc struts and pedders springs. its not so much that they're shitty, i love the front setup, and they ride great. they just take a lot of maintenance, and the rear setup with the time attack axle is fail.

well see, im not wanting to sacrifice the drop, im not to fond of the drop of the pedders springs. im looking at buying a ksport set up of a member on here for 425 shipped. i just want something that rides smoother than my sportlines and FE5's with out sacrificing ride height

the front you can adjust to ride nicely. the rear is kinda a bummer, cuz the shock is not adjustable. IT kinda rides like a truck, in that on the freeway it gets a little bouncy. I would suggest using the coil and perch for the rear, and using your stock shock.

didn't say it was the best idea if you slammed into a curb pulling the ebrake but if your out just a small amount it's not going to make that big of a difference either way.

thats pretty much waht im gonna have to do cause his rear shocks 1 is blown and the other isnt rebounding correctly( or so he says)

you dont think the stock rear shock would be to long to fit? or they both the ksport and stock shock the same size?

it'll be fine, you can take the spring out and let the car fall down onto the bump stops ad it still won't bottom out the shock.

What is your trunk? Black paint/vinyl or CF?

I've never really been a big fan of that look on our cars, but I'm loving it in that picture. I'm picky with my cars.

there is no rear axle. maybe your setup since you ****** rigged everything for your cheapo wheels.

I like the stance of your car with the H&R Springs and the 17 inch wheels. Great choice. I may copy you!

235/45/17 Toyo T1R's
SSC Springs
This tire/wheel setup saved me 10lbs on each corner for a total of 40lbs shaved!






Awesome looking wheels. I would love to have these. Too bad they were a limited production run.

sorta like those wheels too. they look like the enkei's on the time attack car. good choice of tires for those wheels too. I really wish our bolt pattern didn't suck I am dying for work emotion knockoffs.
