Car's looking very nice, Ian. Can't wait to get my Akebono's installed. Just waiting on my rotors from RB.

Also, what offsets are you running on your DPE's?

Thanks.....
Yeah.... I was just too impatient to wait for the RBs.
We'll be in the middle of winter here by the time they start shipping.

DPEs are setup the same as Terry 37f & 48r.
You can definitely get more lippage, but it would take more camber to do it.

Those offsets are pretty close to what I'll be running except I'll have a 9" wide wheel up front and 10-1/2" in the rear. Can you tell me how much clearance you have between the inside edge of the rear wheel and the toe link that runs from the rear hub towards the front of the car? I'm hoping to be able to run a 48 mm offset with the 10-1/2" wide rear wheels, but am a little worried about the inside clearance.

Sure.. no problem, I'll check tomorrow.
