A day @ Forged & my progress to date: Amateur pix ^_^
A day @ Forged & my progress to date: Amateur pix ^_^
Been lurking the forums for a while. Updated pics, daylight shot > night shot
First, BIG thanks to Gluxury and Namrock for the info on their GT-S's, and helping me narrow my decision down on mine. Also, MAD props to Sharif and the guys at Forged, they really went out of their way for me at the shop to make sure my camber kits were installed correctly. "The car doesent leave until its perfect. That's why we're Forged Performance, and not Joe Blow's speed shop" - Sharif
---- I can't recommend them highly enough. My words fall short. ----
Anyways, onto the pics! Comments are welcome! Sorry for the night pics, I'll post some day shots tomorrow.
My car before OCD kicked in...
Clear corners, removed those awful side moldings, and debadged the rear, all but the fuji~
Mods so far are Tein Basics + Hotchkis Sways, HKS pipes, SPC rear kit, and Volk GT-S: Mercury Silver 19x9.5/19x10.5 30/28 offset. Only chance I've had to take pics was tonight (._.) The two in the middle are my sad attempts at photo editing. I'll post some in the daylight tomorow! Comments welcome, and appriciated!
Nothing special

No really. I wanted to run a wider tire without rubbing, I'm at 285/30 atm, and have plenty of room for more drop or wider rubber. And honestly, I know the 17/18 looks amazing, but its almost too much in a lot of cases, some cars pull it off well, like Namrock and Glux, anything boosted and dragging the ground, but on a lot of cars it just looks obnoxious, too "blingy" I guess. Function over form, I guess.
As far as camber goes, I don't want to talk about it.
Patrick @ forged seriously spent 4x the amount of time he should have on my car b/c of a set of SPC front arms that ended up not working. And I just spent all day today finding a shop that has a lift parallel to the floor that my car can fit on, only to spend 2.5 hours under the car myself with the technican trying to figure out how the SPC rear arms work.
The fronts were fine...
The rears we gave up @ L: -1.5cam, .8 toe R: -2.5cam. .8 toe
Something was wrong with the left arm, we could crank the camber down to about -1.8, but the toe would jump up to like .58. When we'd try to turn the toe back close to 0, the camber would creep back down to -2.5
We're gonna try again next week. I'll be OK with bad camber for a short time, its the toe that is a killer.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
I should prob post something in the tech section.

you have to make the toe bolt whole bigger... my techs had the same issue... until they actually read the instructions.
