Freddie: Ok thanks for clearing that up to me with the liner, will look into trimming it. Any issues with it as far as rocks debris water getting in there ? Will see how much and where I will trim it once they will be on . Will most likekly go to F1 as its the closest reputable place.
I work a lot in E.O Va but mostly night time , when are in Perth Ambiy let me know I am across the bridge :biggrin:

Kontra: Hey thanks for input, wow that must be a decent stretch 255 on a 10" wheel ?! I dont know how much low/er you are with the eibachs but everybody keeps on saying the lower you go the more room you have :gotme: anyways I will putting the wheels on this weekend and will know for sure. If I get lowered I will go for coilovers as springs over almost worn out struts isnt a way and buying new struts and springs just doesnt make sense. Btw a couple of guys here are running 20x10et42 with eitheir 275 or 285 tire can you please further explain your rubbing issues and why you went with 255 ?

Car looks good but I think you may need a few more mods:

body kit
trunk spoiler
roof spoiler
exhaust system

I get lots of attention when I go out.

I may be looking in to a custom pinstrip in order to break up the Diamond Graphite a bit.

When you go to F1 talk to Frankie the owner and tell him Freddie from Jersey City sent you.

Thanks Freddie I am really happy with the outcome, I knew you would say to lower it ;) I probably will this summer but before that I have few other things to accomplish ( sport front end with sport headlights, takeda sri, plenum spacer , uprev , audio etc.) and as for lowering I would have to run either a smaller tire or camber it some I am sticking past the fender now.


Okay as far as fitment and ride quality and rubbing:

Rear was test fitted before balance so basically a heavier guy sitting on trunk and two guys at the rear door sills humping with no issues. I do stick out of the fenders. I really like the overall feel , like I am glued to the road going at highet speed in turns with bigger confidence . I was a little worried about the fender liner so I took my wife and two kids for a 30 min ride to Ikea in Elizabeth taking turnpike which isnt the smoothest road but it served the purpose. Doing anywhere gron 65-80 mph over uneven road and minor bumps with no rubbing anywhere, had my left r.view mirror lowered to watch for that . Also clearing speedbumbs either fast or slow with no issues. The only thing that feels weird now is the braking but will get used to that.
And a question maybe a little bit stupid, I have brand new oem sensors on, will they caliberate themselves or do I have to tale it in ? :gotme

The tires will tuck the lower you drop the car, thats why I tell everyone 42et would be best unless your slammed. A hair of camber will also do the trick. After you do the suspension you'll need an alignment 30 days later.

You should have no problems with the 20x10 et40 with 285/30 with a small drop.

Thats why I don't understand when other members state that a 20x10 et32 or 20x10.5 et 38 won't stick out, I say they do.

even a 20x10.5 et45 sticks out the rear fender lip.

PS nice shot of the muffler. :dblthumb: you don't have any rocks in them do you? :biggrin:

Yeah now I understand the point of lowering, as today looking at the wheels only a drop will give the full potential. Yeah I have to agree about the statements of others. I used you as a guide for fitment :biggrin:

As far as the mufflers I dont know about rocks in them but I do get rocks in between them ;)

Looks good, you need to lower it for sure and we won't take no for an answer :chuckle:

As for the tire sensors, they should recalibrate on their own after some time.

So did you get 285's? The more I see it the more I want them! I have been debating on whether or not to go aggressive n stretched but can't ever bring myself to it. I almost bought some 295's the other day on cl but didn't.
