Cool Hey shoe guy, I'll take one size larger please.

New additions to my DB track:

Volk LE37T & Bridgestone S-03's

F: 9.5 +22 245/35/19
R: 10.5 +22 285/30/19

Here's a pic I took on the way to SEMA as we stopped for gas. Veilside lip is new as well, just installed it friday night.

Looks good, need more pics!

Then you need to roll your fenders and get the B+G springs.

But first pics please!!!

Sweet. I can't decide whether to finish suspension with springs and sways or new wheels. What did you do with your track wheels?

Thanks for the comments! Springs go on this week.

Strife: I always go up ramps and driveways sideways. No scraping yet with this setup. But after dropping it I know i'll have to be even more careful with just a few inches of clearance.

Hfm: Track wheels are sitting in my garage. I'm between either putting some new rubber on them and using them for track events this summer or selling them.

**Need some advice: smoke the front sidemarkers, or leave it as is?

Didn't get a chance to take many more pics aside from a few group shots.

Here's a zoomed profile shot I cropped -- but I promise to take some great pics this week after the drop.

There's a few more from this set in the southern california regional forums under the SEMA (who's going) thread.

back tire looks pretty stretched, was that intentional?

rims look great though.

I like the side markers the way they are, but don't think you can go wrong smoking them either.

zxsaint:

Your car looks awesome! I really like your wheels and tires.

I would leave the clear side markers.

My 2 cents...

personally I like the clear looks, also you have lighter color rims, so it match really nice!! Unless you have some gunmetal rims, then I would definitely go for the smoke look! great job!! Look really good!! I should get my V1 lip pretty soon, and my wheels should get here in a few months! Can't wait.

How low are you planning to drop yours? I've got Espelir springs on, and it drop about .5 inch, do you think I would need to roll the fenders?

ares: Anything under 295 on the 10.5 seems to look stretched from what I've seen. In this case even more, since they're 285/30 rather than 285/35.

zisbak: ordered the s-tech for a very minimal drop. Doesn't seem like it'll rub or affect camber much but it should definitely bring me back to original ride height. The rear is at quite a negative camber right now with the 19's but i'm told this is typical.

ronald: Silver LE's. The silver on the LE37T is actually darker than the TE37's silver to probably better contrast with the polished lip.
