Blk coupe w/19" LE37T's

O.K. I finally installed my rims, coilovers are on the way, and my decision on which camber rods still remains.ISDunique(from my350z.com) is selling bars for cheap with bushings which might make a quieter ride than the stillens,any suggestions?
anyways these rims are 19"LE37T 8.5 & 9.5 with +22 offsets.Pirelli tires 245&275/35/19

Looks nice...i was looking at getting the gold LE37T's and probably will get them in the summer time. I wanted to go 9.5" front 10.5" rear w/ +22 offset.

Re: Blk coupe w/19" LE37T's

thanks for the props.plan on rolling the fenders especially if you lower w/ coilovers.those are the sizes I wanted but later realized I didn't want to deal with the fenders.those deep dishes are sweet, I'll probably buy some 10.5's for the rear in a bit.

Rolling the fenders isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I've done it on my previous car and customers cars when i used to work at a shop.

Re: Blk coupe w/19" LE37T's

Moog, did you use the hub / axle mounted spinner (crank) tool or did you use the good old wooden bat method (similar to the 2x4 technique) - LOL?

My friend actually has the spinner tool and its awesome! You remove the wheel, mount it, crank it up, and spin back and fourth till the desired curve and or bend is achieved. I think he paid like $300 for it. I have seen shops charge anywhere from $100 to $200 per fender to do this! Its nuts!

Good way to make some $$$, then again you can always a buy a $20 a bat and it works just as well.

Wes,
Thought I saw you at Wilson and Newport. Tuesday morning at a little before 9. Nice looking combination. Have you decided on which coilovers yet?

Ducati: baseball bat ... I've seen the tools before too...they're neat, but a baseball bat will do the job, just not as cleanly.

Re: Blk coupe w/19" LE37T's

I thought that was you. I went with HKS ls coilovers, and the Kinetics camber arms. I installed them myself, waited for everything to settle, and then made a couple of adjustments for ride height. Finally took it over to Glenn's tuesday for alignment. Rear camber and toe came in within spec, front camber is still off. But without anything on the market that is within reason, that is how it will stay.

Re: Blk coupe w/19" LE37T's

how much are those new evo front a-arms,about 800. I think that is the only solution for a while.
