You were actually driving around on those tires? You must be ******* crazy.



Looks good but you need to lower it a little.

I kept it under 40mph with those tires. Even at that speed I had to make constant course corrections. Keep in mind I just got my new ported motor installed and dyno tuned. It definately put my will power to the test. After searching for the RS wheels for a few weeks with no success I almost threw in the towel and bought another set of 16in tires. I've been making up for lost time over the past couple of days The new ported motor (built by Carlos Gonzalez and tuned by Steve Kan) feels amazing. It has no respect for the new 255 tires

I have posted the dyno sheets on my site under the ECU section "http://www.carlisiworld.com/ccarlisi/myweb3/index.htm



You noticed the gap I see. Believe it or not the car has already been lowered about an inch using Eibach pro-kit springs. Keep in mind those pics were taken after it came off the lift so it may have been higher than normal. Eventually I may lower it some more by adjusting the koni perches, but I'm not going to mess with it for awhile since I just paid around $100 for an alignment.
