Default A little progress on the car

Last time I posted, I had just purchased my 93 SC300. It had some pretty crazy suspension issues when I picked it up, so i put in some Steering Rack Bushings, LS400 Brakes and Megan EZ Street Coilovers. To finish off the look, I ordered a set of XXR 527's in 18x8.75 and 18x 9.75 both at +20. 245/40 fronts and 265/35 in the back. I had to roll the **** out of the fenders and i'm having issues in the front with the tire hitting the frame under the fender liner.

I just scored a sweet deal on a new Vertex Body kit locally. I paid 400 for the front rear and sides, so expect that to be on here pretty soon too!

Heres a couple before photos -



Heres how it sits now.

Thanks man. I had a similar scheme when I had my integra and i loved the way it looked, so it made the choice pretty easy. I'll definitely let you know about the bumper!

Thanks man I appreciate it. You rub the fender liners up front with that offset? Towards the inside or outside?

Right dead in the middle. Its like it didn't build any camber when I lowered it. If you look under the battery, you'll see a metal seam where they put the chassis together. If you look directly under there, you'll see a pinch seam they spot welded together. That's what I'm hitting. I don't know how to make it stop. I think cutting it will make it split.

Went to pick up that Vertex kit today. It was all Fiberglass, so a no-go for me. Dude said he was going to keep it though and sell me his 97+ complete kit instead!

No, there's still 2-3 inches of adjustment.
