Nice...havent seen an SGM photo in a while. Those wheels look really good.

I was able to get one rub, once, when I dialed the shocks down soft. Other than that, no rubbing, no fenders rolled.

I'm assuming you're using camber plates up front?

Looks nice, and I'll bet that's a serious improvement in grip...especially out back.

bradford · 03-31-2010, 02:27 PM

Ground control camber plates, lowered about an inch, 400/800 springs, front camber = -2.3, rear camber = -1.9

Still working for me. Do you have some sort of firewall up that's blocking the site they're on maybe?

Eddy@ApexWheels · 03-31-2010, 04:48 PM

working now!

Great looking setup.

Those 235 NT-01's are a tough fit up front since they're as wide or wider then 245 street tires, and with that sidewall height they get pretty tall.

Glad to see it all worked for you in the end, that is going to be a fast car with that much sticky rubber in the rear.

Very nice set up!

Nt-01 are good tires and get better as they wear down a bit.

Currently, I bet your hearing the unique "hum" they make at speed when at full tread. Perfectly normal in my experience.

When I ran the Nt-01's, people watching my car from the sidelines at the track used to ask me if I had a supercharged car...nope just the tires "humming along"

Yeah, I ran the Nittos last year. They definitely sing.
