Default Just got my car back from Function Tuned

Here are some pics. iPhone camera FTL!

I'm not sure I'm 100% sold on the drop. I'll probably wait about a week or so and go another 1/2 inch lower. I'm also thinking I should of went with a 245 tire in the front and for some reason I think Kumhos 35 tire looks "fatter" than other brands.

Work performed this time:
1. Mount and balance wheels and tires - Volk GTF 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 + 24 & Kumho Ecsta SPT 285/35 255/35
2. Install BC coilovers
3. Install front Ichiba a-arms and rear Eibach camber kit
4. Roll fenders
5. Install test pipes

Anyway, here it is...

The coils will settle. Get a body kit instead.

Wheels look great.


The tires do look beefy should of gone with 30 instead of 35. Either way car looks clean.

If it doesn't look any different after I lower it more, then I'm ditching the Kumhos and going with Toyo or Nitto. I think I def need 245s in the front. See what happens when you try to save a few hundred dollars

Nice!
I had the BC coilovers, and I put the rears all the way down, spring and shock, and my tire did not tuck. (rears were 18x10, +15, -1.8 camber)

Just don't be shocked when you can't go lower in the rear. As for the front, those you can literally slam still you destroy your fender lining.

That's what I've heard. I probably have to get the shorter springs for the rear.

I guess this is the down side of having your fenders rolled...

Nope. Noticed it today when I was washing my car. I sprayed it with water and it came off. Then I kicked the soap bucket half way across the yard..

Same thing happened to mine when I got my fenders rolled, and in multiple places. Get some paint cleaner solution and some touch up paint, and just do layers and layers and layers and you should get it back to looking OK, hopefully to the point where only you notice it.
