No thanks.. Lol

Well apparently race lands full coilovers don't quite give me enough lows in the front... So I'll be reinstalling the vogtland drop springs to make up for this size of Texas wheel gap -.-

First off, welcome to r3v and the community! We are here to help and inform.

I know you're a JDM kid, so I will tell you that those spacers are unsafe and you're an idiot for trying to do that. The wheel backing surface needs full contact with the rotor face to get an even mount to assure zero flex. You will end up breaking studs...I have seen studs snap when installed properly on a factory wheel.

That stretch is bad and you should feel bad.

1. Remove spacers, you're not low enough to even need a flush fitting wheel.
2. Raceland is crap, buy Ground-control.com if you want to get low properly...I KNOW! a setup cost a lot of money. Go buy a Honda if you want cheap ;)

3. Put a set of proper tires on it, I am tucking 245/40/17 no excuses!

If you get offended by my advice, sorry...I am helping you do things right and safe.

In closing; you will waste money not doing things the right way with proper parts the first time. Those racelands could have been money towards the right setup that would give you what you want.

I see what you did there ;)

I wonder how long it will take him to find out about that haha!

Looks like a clean car so far, but damn bro you really need to get some real spacers.

Yeah I already took off the washers lol. Put in some 10mm actual spacers with 45mm lug bolts. I do need to run spacers for my wheel offset/width to even give clearance from my strut housing.
Money isn't an issue. Just didn't see myself dropping $1500 for GCs when j plan to bag with 2 months from now. And actually everything I've seen from this scene besides wheel setups, has been pretty cheap compared to my builds Honda wise.
I already plan to take off the race lands & just put the vogtland spring back on until my bags come in. It will happen once I'm back from Georgia this weekend. Lol nah, no offense taken whatsoever. No rat-rodding to this car build either lol.

Thanks for your input 👍

Yeah there's always bias on any scene of function over form. It's not a Ferrari, so a little stretch won't harm its 24 year old handling capabilities lol. I'll need it when it's bagged out so I'm not sitting on the ground with what looks like 18wheeler tires.
Thanks, love the woodgrain. Rocked one in mostly every car so far

[jalopi]

yeah, if they weren't so goddamn expensive i'd have one myself too. wood's pretty pimp.

Lmfao. Anyways the car ran like shit after you disconnected the battery because its needs to reconfigure.
