I Want This Look

[Don Juan]

I love the ride but just have to go very slow into driveways and over bumps. Nearly every car I have owned in the past 18 years of driving has been slammed to the ground so I'm used to being cautious!

My wheels came in a 45mm offset. I am an engineer in a machine shop so I set them up on the mill and took off another .196" to give me the right offset to tuck. This has to be professionally done! My fenders are not rolled and I have 215/35/18's and do not rub. The pro-kit was only 1.4"/1.8" drop and 45mm offset would rub with any weight in the back seat. Rolled fenders might get you an extra .125" there just isn't much there on these cars to roll.

Did you mill that off the back of the rim? ( Both front & back )?
Would you happen to have any pic's of the car with the other springs on it?
O' and how bout a better pic of that engine?? I would like to see that.
Thanks for your help!

Found an old pic about two months after I got her with pro-kit 17's and SRI and a muffler welded on. Pic is not so good but I think the change in direction my car went was for the best!

That engine is sick, how much do you have in her and what's you HP? $$
I like the look of the old pic, not so much on the rims, but ride height looks good. Do you think I could run that drop with 18's?

That pic was in feb 03. I have about 18k on top of the cost of the car.
I am maxed out at about 250hp/260-270tq. Speed Circuit built block very soon just need to free up about $500 more on my credit card. Then I'll be a little over 300hp at 20psi.

A pro-kit with 18's with 48mm might barely clear with passengers in the back.

DAMN, if I had that(five-0) trouble!

Thanks for all the info, not so sure I still want 18's I may step down to 17's.
