CandlestickPark's 05 Sedan Progression Thread
Long day guys, finally home had dinner with the family and put my sons to bed. Other than Shane banging up his hand working on the car (he's ok by the way), every thing went awesome today!!
Wheels are on. Grant worked for several hours to dial everything in just right. And when I say just right I mean clearing the fender by barley a mm under full compression. We had to elongate my toe bolt holes in order to get the toe back in spec since I added more camber. Had to raise it a tad out back, no adjustments up front fit like a glove!
When we first put them on with no adjustments it looked like this (wheel would have gotten jacked up by the fender for sure).
A couple other random snaps from my phone:
On an incline then Grant and I jumped up and down on the trunk, barely clears.
Profile shot:
Wheels are pokin front and rear. Rear camber went from ~-4 /-4.5 to ~-5.5
Tanabe exhaust, Tanabe Y-Pipe and MD ART pipes are on too, Grant installed them. Sounds soooo beastly! Waiting for it to break in a bit before I post clips, it already sounds deeper just from driving 10 miles home. So much meaner and louder than HKS muffer, oem middy, hr y and Labree TPs that I had before, LOVE it! Sounds like a Coupe aftermarket exhuast
HUGE thanks again to Tanabe/SSR, Grant (Gdup35sedan), Shane (ShanesG), OH6 G35, and Dave's Garage.
Tim we've already determined that you are more conservative than me...hehe. These wheels scream aggressive. I'm tired of being "safe" time to get bold with it.
No rear shots yet. I'll be out of town the next few days will try and get some decent pics up next week.

hows that setup treating you? my dad has the exact same exhaust setup on his sedan and we have MD ART pipes sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.
