Going to adjust the rear coilovers to raise the rears about half an inch after this weekend's track day. A tad too low. Just replaced the axle that was leaking and I don't want to have to do that again. Half an inch should do the trick and give it a better profile look IMO.

Those last 3 pics the tires are different from what I have on the first pic. 245 and 275 (stock sizes) on the last three. The first 275 up front and 295 on rears. The fronts will be replaced from 275 40 to 275 35. A little bit too much wall on the front.

Thank you, I really like these, and the price is right. Waiting on some weight info but these are moving up the short list.

Nice!

Can't remember exactly, but they were a couple lbs lighter.

Hey Rogan, was your axle shaft leaking? If so, how?

You got my PMs but for those who may want to know. With it being lowered and road course events - the added stress causes this. Bringing it back up a little should keep the problem from returning.

Nessal · 03-18-2012, 12:34 PM

How did you find out that it was leaking? Grease on the wheels? Btw i heard if the boot tears you have to replace the whole shaft because contaminants get into it and will cause premature wear. That would SUCK.

Grease on wheels. No tear could be found. Must have been super small and so I'm sure only grease was being forced out and nothing coming in. I've seen tears on others and so they had more replacing to do.

If yours isn't leaking and you don't Road Course you are probably ok. Xavier(South Florida Member) has one leaking too. He doesn't have coilovers, but might be making that step now.

They don't "tear" in the boot, they loosen up by the clamp and leak from there when the grease is hot. Seen it a million times, including on Rogans car

Well there you go...no tear. Thanks for chiming in.

The rolled lip looks great. I always like that more than a straight lip with a 90* angle.
