Re: Dope status (Take 2)
I say lower the fuck out of it. Change it if you go to an event.
This is what I did when I tracked the S15.

Re: Dope status (Take 2)
I personally don't like how stretched the tires are. I am pretty sure I want to throw the 245s up front and get some 265s for the back and just say fuck it when I hit full lock and smoke comes out of my front fenders, lol.

Re: Dope status (Take 2)
Yeah I was going to go to All Aspecs fo' sho!
I think ideally I need to run 235s up front and 255s out back in Feddy sizes...The specs on the rear are 17X11 +12. There's a guy in Miami who runs 18X11 +18s out back with 315s and 18X10 +18 up front with 295s.......on stock fenders. I'm pretty sure he has to have front tubs because he drifts, but he's got -3 camber up front and -2 out back...so I know I can make it to -2 no problem with even a 285 if I had to...I'm just broke and I think a 255 or 265 will be fine. I'm probably going to lower it a little more tomorrow and just see how that is, then get the alignment early next week.
As a side note, I don't just DD my car, I need the suspension to function somewhat for drift events. Despite what some people may think, the cars actually handle better (even while sliding) when the suspension geometry doesn't look like a MC Escher painting.

Damn, thats Firestone prices, haha. Wish I would have known. Some one lead me away from them for some reason way back when I was shopping around, so I never called them.

Re: Dope status (Take 2)
I'll reccomend just about anybody to All Aspects for just about anything. They are the ONLY shop in this area that I will let touch my car. Keinan is a stand up dude, and they do excellent work for reasonable prices. He wont try to dick you into buying unneccesary shit, or spending money you dont need to spend to reach a certain goal.
Go to the shop reviews section on this site and read the thread on them.
