Re: Tirerack (Nismo_Freak)
wait, so you are going to mount those on 11" +0 wheels up front and 12.5" -20 wheels in the rear, right? With something like -8 degrees of camber in the front and -10 in the rear? 3" fender pull?
If not, then, yes, we will give you a hard time.

Re: Tirerack (aither)

Given enough grip from the street compounds I'm running if you want a more explained answer.
Re: (Nismo_Freak)
You know, you should enter your car into the USCC. It definitely seems to have the numbers to compete with the big boys and with 20k+ NICO members, getting voted in shouldnt be a problem either(especially with your reputation here) Have you ever thought about it? Yes... SCC is kinda gay, but winning the USCC would definitely be good for you.

Re: (crzycav86)
It might be a possibility but then again those guys run on a bigger budget than I can afford. Just getting the car there would be difficult but I would love to do it.crzycav86 wrote:You know, you should enter your car into the USCC.

but the real question is... how high is the car going to be?
if you can see the top of the tire on 17" wheels, it's too damn high.i have a garage thrash under protect to save my oilpan from errant objects because my car is so damn low.it's awesome. but needs to be lowerframe rails need to scrape on road turtles. YES.
