650 is a lot of horsepower for any street tire.What all do you got for suspension mods?

Alch,

What size tire do you have on the front?

RikkiTorment

The fronts look to be about a 35mm profile and the rears look to be a 30mm profile? :O

dws6

that is what I am thinking too but to find a set of 305/30 and matching tire height fronts (255-265/35) is a bitch. Proxes 1 have the 255.

Anyone have any experience with any of these? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...earDiameter=19

Fronts are 255/35/19s in Proxes.

I paid $375 each for mine mounted and balanced at my local Goodyear. Was better price than anywhere I could find.

I have BMR front and rear sways, Konis, Strano springs, 1le lower control arms. I plan to upgrade the torque arm as well this winter, but I'm not sure how much that's going to help.

I have the Proxes 1 on the front in 255/35/19 and they are pretty good.

Alch,

Is the car still laid up or can you get some shots of it outside for reference? I am looking to order 19's here in the next month or so. thinking 19x9 and 19x10.5 and using the 255/35, 305/30 combo. I would like to see the stance from the front and rear (angled side shots). I too have the strano/koni suspension combo so your car is the closest thing I have found to what mine would look like.

Thanks!

Hey Alch,
#1 those are some nice wheels, a little expensive for me but i wish i could get a set
#2 how hard was it to fit those 305's under there? not too difficult? just remove the bump stop?

I had no problems at all fitting the 305s. The wheels are 10.5 and I bought the set second hand off a G8. Fortunately, the fitment was perfect, at least to me. I'll grab a pic from underneath if I remember today. I first gotta get the 4" of snow off my driveway.

Please tell me there are weld in subframes and aftermarket Control arms under there also, if not, then you dont know what your missing out on...

The Alchemist

I do have weld in UMI subframes on it, and for lower control arms, I have the 1LE ones.
