i really want to know what fender gap is... cuz i dont have any! got my D2's in with 9f/7r springs. i have the height set to 24.5" all around. they feel great. only REALLY rough when you hit something close to a speed bump going fast. other than that they are plenty streetable to me.



also heres me going up my driveway. the d2's dont give much with stiff springs, guess it would be liek this for most coilovers.

jsut a couple more to show off. btw ont he drive side i moved the harness up into the fender some to give some clearnace. all around i hammered the inside lip of the fender in for added protection. the wheels are 5zigen 17x8 +25 with 235/45 up front. i still have to put my 17x9 +35 in the back but the 255's will clear back there and im not running any camber thats out of factory spec.

old maxspeed springs on agx's

new d2's

Do you have a limited slip differential?

It seems like you would be stuck with that rear wheel up in the air. haha.

Looks good.

lazy? i never heard of the word. you're prolly right. i love that i havent HAD to work on my car for a while. i've spent so much time on top, underneath, on the side, from the back that its nice to have a little break. until things break

sorry, gotta ask...are those 30mm Z brakes? The 5Zigen's clear the brakes and coilovers with no spacer?

Yup.

Actually, they're 26mm.. but they'd clear 30mm too.

Structure: What's the width and offset on the front? What tire size are you running too?

i used to have 17x8 +35 which did clear the 26mm brakes and may have cleared the 30mm. they had no chance of clearing the coilovers without a spacer tho.
