Amazing how much sedans have come up over the years... Thanks to the veterans and this forum it's nice to see more and more sedans with aggressive set ups. I'm hoping that there will be more and more "X"s with more aggressive setups since not many of us AWD guys run aggressive or even staggerred set ups at that..... Love this thread! Xs please post more in this thread!!

Need to fine tune ride height and add a touch negative camber in the rear.

love this set up..... rear looks good IMO just a bit more camber will do, front could use a bit of adjustment a tad lower to even the rear... I'm running 19x9.5+22 19x10.5+17 with a 225/40 255/35 (same rolling diameter for AWD) i plan on going with a VERY VERY similar stance as yours since my stretch is mild and meaty stretch....

still havent adjusted the STANCE since ive been focussing on my engine bay.....

Thanks for the kind words. I just bought and mounted them today. I plan on lowering the front and adding that camber in the rear.

Ultimately I plan on 255/35 rear tires and 245/35 front. I may add a 5mm spacer up front. I was just so excited to pick these up, I had to put them on today and share.

yea i plan on doing a 5mm up front as well after adjustments... i plan on lowering the rear half an inch to an inch and setting at -2.0 to -2.5 and dropping the front a quarter of an inch and setting the front -1.5 to 2.5 depending on how it looks. ultimately would like to do -2.0 all 4 corners (willing to do play it safe as long as it looks good) ... since I'm AWD i figured i cant go super aggressive as of yet, (until someone figures out a meaner stretch with the same rolling diameter) so ill take it how i can get it!

I know my camber is the same on both side as it sits now, so I'm just going to adjust it myself until it looks the way I want.

When someone asks me what camber I'm running in the rear I'll just say "I don't know, but it fits"

23.5" is lower than both Marcus and I.... Pics or it didn't happen on an X. Youd be scraping the front diff subframe on flat ground

23.5 is a like a 1/4" higher than I was last year. Your front diff would be in the ground if you are at 23.5
