I love STANCE coils, and I'm really liking this build... looks just like my maroon hatch i was building a few years ago... Suspension first was your best move. Time to get wheels man, skip the paint for now :D

^ I was thinking about that but I dont know what to do. I know I have alot of body work but i do want wheels. I'm just not sure if I'm down with nice wheel and busted bodywork/paint.

i rather nice wheels and busted paint...

than nice body and paint with sunken battle ship "talking edition" 4 player action going on.

Plus the wheels will provide some function in the form of new better sized tires +1

either way your car is on the right path.

Im thinking about getting wheels now and Im wondering how 17 x 8.5 +4 would fit on all four? Also what tire size is preferable withought being staggered or maybe staggered.

The biggest wheels i could get to fit on all four corners of mine were 18x8. I think any offset larger than 8 is goin to be a tough fit.

Big Update!Definately been a while since i updated. I have got a bunch of things since the last update.

First thing i did is get a new shifter I definately felt a huge difference with the B&M shifter Shift were sharp and precise. I didnt really notice the noise alot of people talk about when you rev up to higher rpm.

Bought this solid steering bushing but never installed it.

Thats where it goes

Next i Got some Goodys

Me wheels and tires I decided to go with 002s 16x8 0offset. For tires i went with 205/50/16.

In the air fitment. I was nervous about the offset





Before

After

The front and rear fenders rub the tires. Good thing i didnt slam my car down.

Than I ordered my last Kazama link for the rear end suspensionOld one

Old vs New Kazama Traction rod

Installing

Installed
