You have a lot of nice pictures.
Good work.

What suspension mods do you have?
Wondered what it took to get a wheel of ground if modified.

I wish I took those pics...I had to buy those from a good photog at the events.

The car for the class it was prepped to is mostly stock. I have 2 way adjustable dampers on stock springs, and a H&R rear sway bar(26mm). Running BFG Rival S 1.5, 245/40/17 on 17x7.5 wheels

19 x 8.5 ET45 Rotiform KPS Wheels
245/35 19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires
BC Racing BR Series Coilovers set at 0 camber

Very very minimal rubbing, front and rear, only when going over large bumps and dips at speed. Dampening is set to 15 clicks from soft. Other than that, there are no rubbing issues. Will be rolling my fenders soon, and will be getting an alignment in a week, and setting the front camber negative a couple degrees. That will fix the minimal rubbing issues. When I didn’t have coilovers, and was on stock suspension, there was no rubbing.

Black wheels. Great when gloss black, especially with a bright exterior color. With a dark exterior, however, they tend to just disappear from view, like you have black steel wheels. Just my opinion - you already made your choice.

[/QUOTE]Coming soon Konig Rennform wheels (going down to 17" because the roads here in the American Outback leave a lot to be desired).[/QUOTE]


Ive got a night blue with the 17" konig hypergrams. The bumps and potholes are a little less jarring. No negative effects of downsizing to 17s as far as i can tell. More meat!!!

Good looking car. Cant wait to see it with rennforms.

I went up to Maine on Sunday to visit the folks. I-95 was completely white with salt. Now I've got a bit of a two-tone thing going for me, and it's too cold to wash it...

Mine looks about the same. It's going to be SEVEN degrees tomorrow. It's going to be at least another week before this cold snap is over and I wash the car in balmy 40 degree weather.
