well, here it is, all buttoned up together... just wanna ask the group for comments on if the front is too low.
front is 6x15 195/60/15, rear is 7x15 205/60/15 (with "home-made-low-budget" "flares") Attached image(s)

looks good to me....general rule of thumb is rear height to be 1/2" higher than the rear for a street car with the front a-arms parallel with the ground.....very general rule (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Kinda high IMO. Just out of curiousity what do the front A-arms look like. Pointed up towards the wheel pointed down towards the wheel of level.
That ass is WAY up in the air. only good sometimes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) but not with cars. |

Yea I hate speed bumps. Gotta creep over them. Every once inawhile they are too high and I scrape the first 1/3rd of the car. My A-arms point up.
Prolly make them level or close to it and compare handling at next autocross. Thanks on paint but really it is a nice 20 footer. not so much of a daily driver anymore as I have a ship yard car that I don't mind baking in the sun, getting rocks thrown at it, bird shit and ship overspray. |
