DG Coupe on "New to me" Volks. F&F 2.5's.

Just finished washing my DG coupe and I recently dropped it on Function and Form Type 2.5 coilovers, and I picked up a set of Volk GTS locally for a STEAL. I'm so happy with how my car is now! It's completely changed from what it used to be. Thanks for looking.

I like the look of those Volks painted. Are your rears the +17 offset? It looks like you've got a little too much rear camber dialed in so your rears are tucked too much.

I'm planning to get some Stoptech rotors with some Project MU pads soon...these are losing their bite and squealing. They're +18 offset iirc. I got some SPC camber arms and toe bolts, he installed them for me. Toe causes tire wear faster than neg camber right? So I told him I want toe in spec, and get camber as close as you can. He said with the toe perfectly in spec, camber had to go....I'm planning some spacers soon, but I'm not doing that for awhile. Thanks for the criticism though, it helps me find what I need.

For me TA stripes don't really flow, but I LOVE the gun faces on black lip. Very nice. Also yea, I'd find out what your camber is because at +18 you should be looking pretty flush but it looks rather tucked to me maybe a little more side angle on a shot? Lovin the ride height tho, so all in all very well done

Thanks guys. Yeah, the rears are dialing in around -3.8 camber...but the toe is in spec. Spacers down the road so I don't look like I'm trying too hard for neg camber. It's just not possible said the mechanic.

The TA stripes are pin striping tape....I like them, but people give me some flack for it....My car haha.

Yeah first wheel I wanted on the G were these a few years back....glad I finally got them.

Well it was a side job, under the table for really low prices. Took us 40 minutes to get me on the rack without teeter tottering haha. Most of the local drift guys go to him, so I'll take his word on it.....

you have spc camber arms. . .I don't see why you cant get your camber back in more. My rear camber was at -4.3 and I got them to -2.5 with ichiba camber arms. Spc will give you even more positive adjustment.

Car looks very nice and clean. . .I dig it.
