Clap, I 'll be running -3 or -3.25 in the front and -2 in the rear. Currently, I'm at -2.7 in the front and -1.7 in the rear. Nothing a little bit more camber cannot fix. This is a strictly a race car not for the street. So, I have no problem running lot of camber. Plus, I can get used race tires with good meat in them for like $35 a piece. Therefore, I'm not worry about tires at all.

the extra .3 of negative camber will help a little bit.

keep us posted how they turn out.

those CCWs spacers are pretty pieces of work no?

Mug- that looks amazing!! You give me hope -I went to see this body guy last week who is supposedly the greatest thing since Ginsu knives and he said all he could do for my '04 was roll the fenderlip. I asked about pulling and he said no way.
Man, I have got to find somebody in Portland who can do this kind of work!

Honestly, the 04 is even more easier to pull then my 05. The 05 have a spot weld panels that join together at the rear wheel well. If you pull it too much, it will create ripple waves on the fender.

The 04 is more like a single rear quarter panel where it is very easy to roll and pull.

You need to find another body guy that know little tricks like this. Came by here and I'll pull it for ya, hehehe...

I will post more picture once I get some new stiffer springs and I will lower the car a bit more.

CCW is awesome. They will do what you tell them to do as long as you can fork up the cash.

I will post a picture of the spacer they did for me.

Really nice, I plan on getting aftermarket front members that are wider for the fronts, need the rears to be done. Anyone in NJ know how?

Did you get extended studs or just the spacers? Also, could you measure the front and rear ride height?

Thanks
