Aggressive fitment anyone?!

Sand , why did you use 10 mm spacer ?

Idk, why not right. Should I have used a bigger spacer in you're opinion?
I've had the spacers sitting around for a while now, so I said screw it and put them on. I really like how the stance is now. Going to lower it a little bit more friday.

only slightly rolled fenders? doesnt look like major camber either.

looks realllly good either way

dam man...i wanted to worder those wheels so bad
except in 17x9.5 lol

Lol, you can run wide, not me. Anyone running this on a Protege?

Thanks Noah. Its amazing how well black mica cleans up with a 3M clay bar, 3Mcompound buff, high speed 3M polish buff, and Meguairs finish wax. The entire car is finally going to look new again, besides the busted passenger mirror..lol.

Not to thread jack but my lateral links look puurrrrfect and I want them asap..lol!
When are they getting shipped out and how soon should I pay the final balance?

I hope you were paid for this post.

I should be paid for reppin their products, I spend enough money on this stuff ...s*** :/
However, I do pay cost on them at my paint supply store since I own my own business.
But, alas i'm just a 3M *****. Its good yet expensive stuff. All I use for paint work plus poorboys or zaino for stage waxing. Any good detail kit is expensize and one of the keys to making it perfect is a good clay bar.

Think I may need more camber in the rear if I want to go lower (Maxed at -2.3 with BC coils). I don't have any reliable shops in the area to slot my struts for me. Anyone see an issue with using camber bolts in the bottom strut holes that are not slotted?

 

[neilv]

do you have one in the top hole? either way it shouldnt be a problem.

the bottom will kick out the bottom a little more as the top should bring the top in a little more. just depends where you want the wheel to pivot from.

I was thinking of doing the same thing Chris. I dont feel too comfy in slotting my coils myself. dont want to f it all up. lol
The only thing with camber bolts that concerns me is, when hitting pot holes and bumps, these camber bolts tend to get knocked out of the original postion.

 

[Speed3.5]

Sand, so you went from 45 to 35 my question was "why" , was the rim/tire rubbing against the strut ?

 

[Protege03ak46]

Any and every car looks better flush, just looks more smooth and clean. Even the manufacturers have made there cars more flush than in years past.

No, but the top holes are already slotted slightly with the BC's.

I would think it will be the same thing with the slots, since the hole is actually bigger than the bolt. Camber bolts are the same thing, but just egg shaped.

QUESTION? can anybody tell me if I can get any camber in the back wheels without having to buy any camber kit? Im on green tein springs and blue tokikos, thanks

slot the struts
edit: wow...i skipped a page lol apparently its been answered already

Lol, you can run wide, not me. Anyone running this on a Protege?

nope, not yet at least. im just going with 16x8 +14, i dont need super wide wheels lol

 

[shane02pro5]

It would be easy to slot the upper holes a little just using a dremel depending on how much more camber you need. If you grind about .040" to slot the hole that will give you about another degree.

Nope, no rubbing at all at +45. I just wanted to see how the car looked with spacers. I'm on coilovers btw, not struts. Sorry for the confusion. My goal with the enkei wheels was to flush them out a bit without having to stretch my tires. I want a good balance of style and performance.

 

[Reflex2o3]

I dont mind a nice well built one, but where I live they all rusted multi colored ones and it pisses me off, but they are quick, I just dont like how they build them here... all motor and no cosmetic at all, I like pussy, not balls, girls want nice cars, not crappy looking fast ones lol

mine isnt rusted, even my bay is painted n its a 94

 

[CTpro5]

any with a Protege5 lowered on Eibach pro-kit. Has this set-up? 18X8 +42 Offset with 215/35/18, or 215/40/18. Will this wheel combo fit without modification?

 

[shane02pro5]

Most likely need a fender roll or get some camber bolts or slot the upper strut mount.
