Re: Dope status (Take 2)
It's 100% the tires, they're like 10 times more stretched then I thought they'd be, haha. I am going to try and get the rear aligned this week so I can make a decision about the sized tires I'm going to buy for the front.
I know for a fact it can look much better then it currently does.

Im very sure the wheels will look good with the right tires. Good luck squeezing the rear camber to -2, Im not sure how that will work.
Im guessing -3 to -2.5 max

Racewerks can hook you up with an alignment if you are looking for a shop. They are very meticulous with their work, and I believe its still $99.

The rear had not settled at all in this picture, but the tires are so stretched it doesn't look right at my current ride height - I'd have to lower it like 2" but that just isn't possible with my exhaust.

The picture is also blurry as hell, which is why it is so small.

just keep the tires and add a spacer
Ride height is actually lower than this now:

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.
