anybody have some good photos of spacers used for a mild drop (~1"ish)?

i have 225/255 which filled up the wheel well a bit compared to the stock reo50s but am just curious as to see what this would look like since i'm dropped on eibachs and currently have about a 1.5ish finger gap

thanks!

and i did look through the photos, but most photos are ppl who are pretty slammed

^^^what's up boys! Robbie, looking great as always. The side diffusers look great further out as do you your wheels. KJ, the chilicoke(sp?) diffusers are looking bauce!
Is it cruise to wolfpin gap/blood mt. time yet? I just made a few laps up there with the top down and it was amazing. Played Chase with a new ss camero that had me stuck to him on the corners but anything that resembled a straight he waved to me but I would get all the ground back with in a few turns easy.

I"ve been reading this thread for a while still cant decide

I'm running stock tires 215/ 245 AP2V3 I'm going to roll all fenders and relocate bumper tab going to drop (not sure whats best)

Trying to decide H&R 25 all round (Swangs car is awesome)

Or 25 rear 20mm front

Or go on the safe side 20mm all round

Thanks for the help

^^ Honestly, I've had the 20mm front and 25mm rear setup...



If I had to do it again I would get 20mm all around. Reasoning behind it would be because I had to run at least 2 1/2 to 3 degrees of negative camber in the rear to clear the fenders. If you run 20mm in the rear then you don't need as much camber to clear it and you have more traction because of having more tire on the ground. Car will still look aggressive but with less camber.

Well -- you'll have more straight line braking/acceleration grip with less camber, but your dynamic camber in turns is going to be a different matter.
