1992 Coupe SEStance basicsSPL Ruca's(I get it aligned Friday, so I don't know camber, etc...)Sportmax 501's in 16x8+15 silverFalken FK452's 205/50r16

I think it turned out nice!

Before:







Wheels:







Newness:



















I'm taking it to a "race shop" to get a custom alignment. I'll probably just ask the guy what he recommends, but this is what I'm thinking:Front:2-3° camber3-7° caster0 toe

Rear:1.5-2.5° camber3-7° caster0 toe

Let me know what you guys think!

You wanna add caster, not take away. you'll be good with 7.0 caster. Also with 0 toe all around, be prepared to have the car wander on you when you drive around and stuff. And go lower, lol. You have Stances, coilovers known for slamming the hell out of a car. Unless you're one of those, I don't like the slammed look or whatever, then that's cool I guess.

I want to lower it more, these Oklahoma roads are rough though...I almost ruined a harness when I was 1/2" lower in the front:



I moved the harness up to the side of the "hump" and think that has alleviated my problem.

I'll probably end up lowering it at least 1/4" in the front and probably more in the rear to even it up a bit (since I removed spare/jack/etc.). I need to get this done tonight before I get it aligned...

I plan on doing SOLO in the car (just for fun)... I did some hard cornering yesterday, and heard some scraping on the current height (lower air dam i'm guessing). I'm running my dampener's pretty soft though. Something like 4-front 2-rear.I just need to play around with it more I guess...Wish me luck!

Wow, that' looks really good. It's good to see more good looking wheels for the 4 lug 240's.
