How much did you narrow the rear end? Do you have any pics of the tubs done? Again, that car looks BAD ***.

IForged and Sparco Milanos, $$$$.

I asked you about these a few days ago in another thread then you magically post this up. Glad to see an update, that looks awesome. This is with the new rear right?

Don't get me wrong, the wheels/color/tires/rearend rock. But if that thing is lowered, i'm Abe Lincoln.

Looking forward to more photos.

The envy I feel for your rim/tire set up, I have never felt before for anybody else's.

It's bugging me the way it 's sitting now. Tire diameter should be the same. The stock goodyear F1's are 25.7" and the KDW's are 25.6"..........

Just take a look at this pic right after my koni / LG G2 spring install on the front. Doesn't it seem lower???? Look at the fronts
It was almost a 2" drop. Time for coil overs or maybe I'll try the rear spring hose mod.

I don't know that I would jump to any conclusions.

I'd wait until it's all buttoned up and back on the street (with the 10-point and tubs, carpet/other inside parts, etc. installed) before making any ride-height adjustments. It's still a work in progress, right?

You may be (hopefully) pleasantly surprised with how it finally sits once the other work is finished.

Keep us updated, please.

Looks good man.

Did you want the rear tires to tuck more???

What Backspace are the rear rims???

6.5"??

If you are going to mini-tub you could of narrowed the rearend even more and really tucked them in there...

Im only saying that because im narrowed 3" per side and tucking 325's and 1" inside the rear fenders...

You will get it there.. it just takes time...

That's about it for tucking them in. The backspacing I don't know but, Vince at iforged told me it's the same as the 17x11 but, 18" + "1 B.S. Those tires are cloase as hell to the offset LCA's
After adjustments I'll see how she sits then.
Thanks
