            Why didn't you just get the +15 or even +10 ones just to be safe, that's what I wouldve done.

              You are going to track the car with 205 tires stretched on to a 9inch wide rim? That does not seem safe to me.

                Because I could only find the +0's in stock. And as you can tell from the pics, they're barely stretched. Didn't need a bead blaster or anything, Ive seen many a car tracked w/ that. Plus, look at tires drifters use...

                  ^ well how stiff are your rear coils going to be? drifters have a mean old stiff rear

                    you just have to make sure your tyre pressures are right so they dont peel back

                      Ohhh yea, im keeping an I on pressures. And My spring rates are 700 rear, 400 fronts. So 2200lbs/in of total spring rates, in a car that weighs about that haha

                        Your front springs seem really soft for such an aggressive fitment.

                          What do run/ recommend? Cant change em just wondering. Driving around in it, I cant imagine running anything stiffer.

                            I run 550 up front and it still rubs on hard turns or when drifting. It's going to be inevitable on your setup though.

                              I would also like to point out that you have the front rim on backwards in your "test pics". Way to go!

                                thats soft just in case you wanted to know. I dont even think that 400 front is a spec e30 rate. i've been in a 500/750 and i think you would need something stiffer than 400/700
