How to nail the perfect stance?

groovyjay · September 11th, 2007, 06:42 AM

I'm looking to put some 20"'s all around during the winter and IMO it will look stupid unless I bring the car down some. What is the best way to get the right ride height and stance? Coil overs? What are my options? I've used KW stuff and KONI's on my other cars and both have been great. Whre to get the stuff from?

I think these are just right:

The yellow car looks like it has 24's on it. Could be just the dark rim on the light colored car.

The bumblebee is acutally a picture of my car....an older pic when Cody used to own it from ART. I'm running I Forged 20's on the back and 19's in front. I love the combo, but check out my other posts. Whatever you do...DO NOT USE PIRELLIS. They are a total piece of shit. Go with the Nitto Invos.

Both of those cars are sitting very nicely, IMO.
I wish I could lower my car a bit and close up the fender gap, but with New Jersey roads, I'd be hating life.

That's one of my all time fav's! What's wrong with Pirellis, I've them on two of my cars at the moment and I have absolutely no complaints! What kind of suspension are you running?

I have the KW suspesion...as for the perellis don't get me started. i have had three tires go...all sidewall issues within the last month. tires have less than 2000 miles on them. pirelli is going to make a call on friday....just spent 2k for new nittos. i posted a few days ago and found that others have had the same issues. i am not happy.

What wheels are those on that first one?

IMO The bumblebee has a great stance. If they were 20's all around, it would look PERFECT.

LOL. Looks awesome, but those cars would be totalled on Pittsburgh roads within a matter of days. It's tough enough at stock ride height. But sure looks puurrrtttyyy.

I have worked in shops for years. I won't install a Pirelli tire. I have had many many many of them come back seperated.

Not 20's, but here is my car with 19's and Eibachs if you are interested in that combo. As Onerareviper stated, I don't think I would want my car any lower around here.

Where did you get those lenses that block air from entering the fog lamps?

Chauss · September 12th, 2007, 06:09 PM

Those were stock on the 97 GTS. They have little tabs on the lens that fit into grooves around the lights.
If it were my car - I would take them off and save them away- they have been known to fall off at times.

simms the car looks awesome like to stop down to see it ken 96 gts

Anyone out there have any experience with forced-air-induction on a 99 RT/10? I am very much interested but do not want to compromise reliability or opportunity to return to stock configuration someday as my car is a low mileage minty. I'm hoping any/all mod's would not require 'torching'. Looking for the best of both worlds, I guess.
