I have a few requests...

What is the front track width?
What is your camber setting?
How much clearance do your coilovers have?

IIRC the magic number is 1.33"
I think the official, official number is 1.25"

these are very rough numbers as i dont have very good measuring equipment or a helper currently. the front end has not been aligned yet either.

  • i can see the front is toe'd in but the front track is ~57" center to center at the front bottom of the tires(near the floor)
  • i dont have a degree finder here, but id guess by lookin at it, it is between -1* and -2*
  • i can comfortably fit my thumb between the tire and the coil over, but not two fingers. very scientific, i know :hick:
  • the lower spring collar is above the tire.





i can update later if you would like more specific info. :toilet:

More specific would be good. No hurry.

So I'm guessing this setup put you somewhat close to a stock track width (as far as camber, cc plates and cutting the towers is concerned) and the wheels correct the added width from the SN brakes...  is this correct? 

Also, just have to say I can't stop coming back to look at this...  impressive, your time in measuring paid off!!
