Hey man..... nice shot.

What kind of rims are those?

Indpowr · 04-29-2010, 09:58 PM

Very nice

CamaroDreams07 · 04-30-2010, 12:08 AM

What sizes tires/wheels are you running? Looks awesome, back tires look HUGE and mean

devildoc · 04-30-2010, 08:29 AM

Damn nice shots and beautiful car......your red/blk combo is starting to move along nicely!

KMPrenger · 04-30-2010, 09:35 AM

Will you come take pics of my car???!!

lol

Hylton · 04-30-2010, 09:38 AM

I love the look of the H&R drop but Pfadt seems to imply that you will bottom out with those. How are you finding them?

scrming · 04-30-2010, 10:34 AM

Thanks, guys!

To answer some questions...

The rear tires are Nitto NT555R Drag Radials - 305/35/20s

Wheels are BOSS 338s - 8.5 inch up front and 10 inch in the rear.. I was amazed at the difference the 10 inch wheel made! Car just looks so much more aggressive now! It just plain looks mean... and screams that she is ready to go! LOL!

@Hylton, Don't have an issue with bottoming out, but in the right conditions, like sharp turn, up the incline, say like up into my drive way I still get a "clunk"... it's not bottoming out, but rather when twisting the car I think the sway bar links still bump the springs.. Now this is different than when the spring was originally out of the cup... when the spring was out of the cup, i would get the clunk on almost every bump and some times I would get the horrendous binding sound/feeling as the sway bar link would kind of hold up the coil... So for now it's the occasional clunk, turning up my driveway... but going down the road and even hitting big bumps I have no issues... just when i get twisted... LOL! Next time I'm down at MRT we'll put the car back on the hoist and see if we can see where things are bumping...

@KPM... Sure! Just cover my expenses!

I've been kind of neglecting my photography hobby... was fun getting out and doing a quick shoot!

@SD... cool! Been dabbling in photography for 20+ years... made the switch to Canon when I went digital... Started with the original Digital Rebel! Then 20D, then 40D... I now shoot with a 50D and a 5D... These were with the 5D... love the "full frame" sensor!!! Also.... couple years ago I decided to really invest in some good glass and bout a couple of L lens... I was floored at the difference! Also discovered that you can rent L lenses pretty reasonable! I do that for special events! Why spend $$$$ on a lens you only use once a year! LOL

Question -- when your spring fell out of the cup, could you see the problem while the car was on the ground/wheel on?
I have a clunk/rattle when I go over bumps that is getting annoying (now that I'm riding with the windows down more). I've looked with it on the ground but haven't taken the wheel off yet. I can't see anything wrong with it.
I'm wondering if I need to do the "bend some sheet metal" fix that pedders described in another thread.

Looks awesome. I think you need a new spoiler though.
