Glad u got the duckbill on it too...

Yep looks real nice. Now im looking for some suspension upgrades.

Lookin good!

Suspension goodies and Mazdaspeed body kit

 

[SpooledupRacing]

mazdaspeed kit is to overpriced IMO...

deff get some nice suspension.. good drop and put it all together..

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, i agree. But, IMHO, it's the best looking one out there

 

[Riken]

Im thinking MS front bumper and sides. I already got it dropped 1.2 all around. Also getting an AP midpipe this week.

 

[blkspdfreak]

very clean. slam it and keep it gangster.

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, saw the midpipe thread

And it's already lowered 1.2"?

What else ya lookin to do?

 

[Riken]

I need to roll the fenders if I want to go lower. I did a little fender rolling in the back but still rubs some times.

 

[SpooledupRacing]

nice tuck with some fender roll..

 

[mx-p5]

offset on the wheels still not quite right? We just had to roll Callie's fenders cause the offset and 215 tires

 

[SpooledupRacing]

18's?

nice fatties in the back bro... loads of grip.

I know that deal. Look Fantastic, but the problem I felt with wheels and tires that big is that it slowed the car down and simply did not handle the same as with stock, or close to stock size.

I had:
Front - 18x7.5 +35, 245/40/18
Rear - 18x9.5 +35, 275/35/18

So tru. Im slow-er lol.

It looks great but its like a downgrading. I felt the loose of power as soon as I got the new rear tires put in. They are run flat too so much heavier. Im trying to see if I get some power mods, get about 10hp from midpipe exhaust racing beat reflash and see if its better, if not well ill go with Work cr kai bronze 18. I love me some mesh wheels but donno.....

That's almost what I'm running now. WORK Emotion XT-7, 18x8.5 +46, stock size Nitto NT555 Extreme. And with all my mods now and some to come, I'm hoping for some decent gains.

 

[SpooledupRacing]

Both of you have some SEXY! 8's... I like the big fatties on the back.. it may make u "slow" but honestly its not that huge of a deal, atleast it wouldn't be to me!!!

 

[Riken]

well thank you

 

[SpooledupRacing]

HAHAA.. THX for telling u the troof!!! OKAY!
