IIRC, the car was a v6 car that someone bought and then turned into an SS from their Z or SS. The Z or SS might have been wrecked.

I'm also pretty sure the car has an LS2 402 in it, so you may want to check the conversions & hybrids section.

I know that those are 315 Nitto DRs. I want to say that he is running QA1s with a custom spring setup (XXX lb. front, XXX lb. rear)

Good luck.

^ I remember something similar to the poster above.

I can tell you I saved those pics to my computer on Monday, ‎September ‎29, ‎2008, ‏‎12:52:38 PM

So check the threads in the appearance and detailing section around that date, I'm almost positive the thread with those pictures was in this section.

iv never seen that car before but that stance is nothing new,now im not positive.but something like this
17x9.5 fronts with 275/45/17
17x11 rear with 315 nittos
depending on your current ride height,a prokit or sportline should do the trick.
