    I think at least in the rear. For some reason it doesn't look like it's filling out the wheel arch as much as it could. Witness my 16x7 BBS RS 003's with 225 tires and ET25 offset:



    Maybe it's just the height of the car.

    Ryan has been incredible on this job. He is really into working on it and has great taste as well......

    +1 on what super duper wrote

    There were countless hours I spent with my dad in the garage underneath the car, under a hood because we had to-money was tight. I actually appreciate those times now because that was when we were able to bond, him telling me how life was, even using examples of working on cars (things don't rarely ever go as planned) as a lesson.

    Nicely done. In my opinion its not so much about the end result, its more about the time spent with your son.

    Kudos!

    Very nice early model. My dad and I have a 67 Mustang, but we haven't touched that in months.

    I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

    The rear springs are what comes in the Ground Control kit. I think 650 is right. Suspension is set at the following:
    Coner Balance data:
    Left Front 823
    Rear Front 747
    Left Rear 711
    Right Rear 696
    Alignment settings:
    Front Camber - 2.5
    toe out 1/8 " total
    1/8" toe in in rear
    Rear Camber 2.3

    This is a balanced setting for street and track. I used an esteemed race shop, TC Designs in San Jose.

    It feels a little mis-matched, but pretty cool. I like the rims for sure..
