    Your whip looks ill son! :pimp:

    Only qualm with it is the front wheel fitment/height. I'd say go lower, and get some camber plates to tuck those tires mang (or dial in more camber if you already have the plates). :woowoo:

      By the way, you guys need to see how much steering angle there is in this car :D

      I'd take a picture but theres another 5-10 degrees of angle over where it sits, but I need to hold the steering wheel while someone snaps the picture.

      And this is even before you put load on it! I'm easily at 50, maybe 60 degrees of steering angle. :D

      As for camber plates, I don't have any. Not a big priority, but I agree with your point.

          I love how all drifters, not just jdm ones, have a thing for dildo shifters.

                  Nope... I highly doubt there's a need at this point and I don't trust messing with geometry and the strut's integrity all that much.

                    same. It can get you insane angle tho.

                    how did you measure how much angle you were getting?

                      I'm guessing based on eye sight... , but if you want to bust out the measuring tape you can easily find out how much angle you have with your high school geometry skills. :)

                              Sorry to hear about the wheel lugs mix-up. Good luck in the drift event this weekend!

                                You're just jealous. The poke is fine... quit whining. The front if anything is slightly mexi-flush already.
