Thanks,, They Look Great! I like the color and choice of wheels on your car.

Looks great! First couple pics almost look anodized vs powdercoated to me! Again... looks great, but i'd be scared to tear the front clam if you get enough compression in the corners...

I think it's apples and oranges. I personally take mine on and off. Just depends on where I'm driving and my mood I guess. lol Downside with it off is the four holes you have to plug and the indentions on the hatch. Those aside, she's damn sexy w/o wing....

shay2nak · 10-02-2007, 10:24 PM

what tire sizes you have? Are those A048s?

What's the offset of the Toybox wheels?

smashfactory · 10-02-2007, 10:52 PM

The tires are A048's 195's and 225's. (Waiting on my A050's). The et's are 22 frt & 35 rear. I will be running 17x9.5 on the rear and 16x8.5 on the front next week with some different offsets. Hope my math is correct.

I love Toybox wheels, I will have a brand new set powdercoated satin black for sale next week. I decided to keep a set of gold and sell the black.

Frickin unreal I love it!!!!

I soo want to slam my car now....
just F-in sick.....

smashfactory · 10-02-2007, 11:07 PM

Thanks. It is too low to be functional. I will raise it up once my new wheels come in.

color coded with the garage door, hahaha.

Looks Great!
Looks good without the wing

Smash -

I'm guessing you don't drive the car with the coilovers set that low, right? At least on any kind of regular basis, right? Just lowered for the pictures, right?

If I'm wrong and that is your normal driving height, have you lowered the steering rack?

Gideon · 10-03-2007, 10:01 AM

damn K... Now that looks gangsta! I need to find some shorter springs for the Ohlins so I can drop it Compton style.

What happened to the JDM suspension you were messing with?

Thanks... 8.5" & 9.5"! Same Toybox wheels? Well, I think it's possible if you get the offset right. Last week I was measuring the width from the wheel liner to the edge of the fender and it's 11" at the rear and 12" at the front! The front having more room surprised me. I mean theoretically you could fit wider tires at the front than the back. How come there's more room up front? Is that just because of the suspension's geometry?

What's your math? what do the offsets have to be to fit the widest wheels? I haven't even measured yet as I don't expect to buy new tires for another 3 or 4 months.

The fronts need clearance for turning.

Your car looks great...You have good taste - I love my Toybox wheels as well.

Couple of Questions:

-Would you be interested in selling your stock black fiberglass side pods and rear wing? I was thinking of going with black trim like the 06 exiges (already have the splitter done).

-Where did you/can you purchase the side mirrors?

Thanks.

SouL · 10-03-2007, 04:49 PM

Thanks! Yeah... where did you get the mirrors. I really really like the look. Slick!

Actually it was a bit lower, but I couldn't go fast. I raised it to the current height as pictured. I drive it like it is pictured.

The rack has been modified.

I agree. Lower looks better, but is not as fast.

I was running some JDM stuff, but I am kinda feelin' the nitrons.
