Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to do with the stuff you take off when prepping for STX? Just going to keep it around to put back on when you decided to sell it? I only ask because I will need to source some stock parts if I want to play in stock/RTF.

 

yep keeping it all for when i sell the car.

 

What spring rate did you go with?

 

8k front 9k rear. Being the same size i can also switch them if needed.

 

Well I'm going to order a 265 Dunlop to see if it fits with the kw suspension. Based off the 17x9 thread it might be close . That's why I will only order one to try when the snow is gone here.

 

That would be awesome!

 

picks of 265s to come tonight

 

Should fit no problem with the smaller coilover housings.
Looking forward to the pics!!

 

well they fit. the rears no problem, the fronts not so much lol. There is anout 1/4" between the tire and strut but like you said jboogie with the KWs there should be more than enough room. yes i know the tire is on the wrong way. i bought one to test fit so it could go anywhere lol.



rear, no issue at all. If i could i bet a 285 would fit in there lol.




Front, shouldnt be a problem with the KWs are on. We had about 3" of snow today, just waiting for the snow and road salt to go away to put them on.

 

sexy man!! hopefully there is a race in May so I can come out and maybe take a couple of runs while im home on leave.

looking good though! dont miss Wisconsin weather at all

 

Thats a lot closer then the R-comps that we put on my car. Your car will look and handle like a beast this year!

 

i dont know if i could give up the food and beer here But i could do without the weather lol.

 

anyone know how the rear KWs stay put when you have them where you want them? The fronts have a small bolt to kee the spring perch from moving but in the rear there is nothing like that.

 

Spring pressure

 

that just doesnt seem right lol.

 

Put the car on the ground, or push up on the suspension with a jack and no tire and try to turn the spring seat, it aint going nowhere.

 

fair enough, just doesnt seem right based off other kits i have had. if it works it works. Still waiting for a good rain up here to get rid of the road salt.

 

KWs going on soon working on alignment specs now.

 

1st event is about a month away but the weather is nice up here. Im putting all my parts on this week Expect picks to come

 

First of dude i love following this thread for your progress its amazing.
Secondly how the heck did u get swift to make u springs, iv tried for months now to have them build me springs for the front and rear of my stance coilovers with noooo such luck.

 

I bought them through evasive motorsports! They were super helpfull!

Sorry i dont have any picks up yet, my ipad wont let me upload any to photobucket..

You can see some picks on my facebook though

Facebook

feel free to add me as well, but its going well. Need to figure out a clunk i have in the front end, i think its a bearing plate issue. The car is alway going in for some work as the ignition key is stuck in the on position and will not move! I had to kill it to turn the car off and undo the battery :P The short test drive i took felt good, needs some fine tuning as all shocks were on full soft and a bit bouncy.

More info to come!!

I thought his last name started with an L. Maybe he just puts a fake last name down when he auto crosses.

 

I think a thread should be made on HOW TO lose weight...
