looks good jin! what are the new specs? getting RCAs will provide more neg camber to fit. also do you have problems with the UCA hitting the shock tower?

Thanks man!

They are 18x10-14 and 18x11-1. I was thinking about getting RCA's, but after the pulling we did, I think I'll be ok. Ya I did have major knocking from the UCA hitting the shock tower because of the height I've been running for awhile now. We made modifications for it finally.

Used a hole saw


Then boxed it in


And here is the final stance, the fenders had to be pulled alot, and I had to raise it up about a 1/4" in the front after its all said and done. I think if I went with a 35 series up front, I prolly could of stayed at the height I was at before. Surprisingly the rears I didn't have to put much work in.



wow, photos are just messed up for me, heres the link to the photobucket album

^ What is the diameter of the holes? - I have one circular about 1 1/2 and one squared about 2x2, and I am getting a little clunkage from the circular one, but was kinda afraid to cut more...

The holes are 2 5/8's if I remember correctly. We drilled a pilot hole from were the metal was raised from the knocking. Then built the boxes in a wedge form, so that I was able to keep hood and hood strut clearance and it worked with the angle of the uca motion. We also welded a couple tacks around the hole just in case for integrity.
