Default New Wheels & Moar Low

Hey guys!

Figured I would start a new thread as I move onto some bigger mods. I will try my best to document the process and keep you all updated.

The tire setup on those wheels has a pretty good stretch on the back.

If you use the coilovers you'll be good and it will all fit in nicely.

I have a set of Megan EZ coilovers on one of my cars and its dumped to the ground & has been at that height and DD in LA for over 2 1/2 years now and no issues with the coilovers.

Great bang for your buck sub 1000 suspension components.

Here is a dark cell-phone sneak peak!

Put the coilovers and wheels on... still need to make some adjustments and raise it maybe just a little bit more..

Thanks guys! I know, I was too excited after getting the rear coilovers on. I will try to dial in the height and get it aligned and come back with something better tomorrow.

Nice.....255 on a 10.5" is not too bad. I'm running 255 on an 11" on the front of my SC and the stretch is fairly mild.

Thanks all. MrMark, did you have to do any fender lining mods? I hate how obnoxious the liners are, I'm rubbing still but really don't want to go much higher. lol

Are those Weds Kranze? I almost went with them when I bought my last set. Nice looking wheels.

Nice MrMark - that makes sense. Liquid SC - Yes sir! I remember seeing Will's SC when it was white on some VIP forums and I fell in love... I bought this car just for these wheels, lol. Thanks also! Yours looks great too, always been a fan of big face wheels on these big body coupes.
