I just did everything the right way and will let you know how it sits/drives

could u measure how far off the ground are ur fenders measure through the middle of the center cap

my front is 26 inches both and rears are 26 and 7/16 for one and 26 10/16 for the other at this point

since I got bigger tires I sit 0.2 inches higher and so we'll account for that once u get ur measurement

thanks man! hmmm as far as getting to 60 in 6, I highly doubt it. if i had a manual then i'd probably be a bit closer. the car feels quick though...i'll have to time it!

and yuriy, i'll get out and measure tomorrow and let ya know

i re-edited the first clip to include some revs beforehand

Steve, get a scan gauge2 and you will be able to clock your own 0-60, 1/4 mile 1/2 mile times.

it would be awesome if you could report back and lemme know the 0-60 time. i want this to be at least a six second car otherwise ill go with the boost option which i have been delaying cause then i gotta look at doing the clutch limited slip diff and all that to get the best out of it.

if you want 6 second car then shed weight

17-19 pound wheels and 20-22 pound tires

that will drop ~50lbs off the unsprung weight which will feel AMAZING!

I dropped only 20lbs and cant get over how much faster it became

so what did the top read? since that's what springs change the wheel gap

ground to center cap stays the same


sorry if i was unclear, the measurements I gave you were from ground to fender

Sorry my wording was funky. I measured from the top of the fender to the center cap. Of course I didn't do from the ground to the center cap...there are different readings!

And I am firmly against painting stock calipers lol. The only way I'll have color back there is going to be if I get a bbk.

Kanye and jay-z are not hard as a mother****er.... i think the cartoon picture says it best, especially since your car color is almost close to a ham
