Looks fantastic!!

Any pictures of the inner front wheel well's? Any modifications?
Any notching of the rear frame rails?

What is the backspacing front & rear?
What are the exact tire sizes?

Thanks, Very Nice! I was wondering how you got the 14" pro-plus to fit the rear...
 
Thanks.
We always try to incorporate great Looks and Stance along with functionality and performance. as you know there will always be compromises. The front suspension really is the BEST you can buy. no one else can reproduce the numbers that this package has , with out the AFX spindle and the steering arms. The bump steer is really low .065" in 3" of travel,the ackerman problem is practicaly solved, the wheel fitment is exceptional, and the install is straight forward. both front and rear. ride height is adjustable by about 2" if you choose the coil overs, an inch either way of the pictures, and the Camber gain is exceptional as well, the AFX spindle raises the roll center approximatly 4" and the rear has 3 different locations for the lower trailing arms the roll center and anti squat are both adjustable, the anti squat goes from stock to 130%, so in a drag race application it will help and having adjustable shocks/coilover is a huge gain. All Bolt on.
 
The rear coil overs are a bolt on kit? I looked on ridetech's site and did not see a kit just shocks/springs i may have missed them though!!

The offset of the front wheels could be adjusted IMO. They need to come out a little.

I think the wheels would look better with a polished lip too. But that's just me.:biggrin:

WE speedtecherformance.com make the suspension components including the coil over conversion parts Ridetech just supplies the shocks, we can also do the packages with QA1 to lower the cost a bit.

and Yes they are a bolt on

I love it. Don't go any lower. That's a perfect stance.

If you bring the front wheels out then you have to lift the car 1.5 inches or so otherwise they will hit the inner fender. so i guess it depends what you want, you want it low and have no rubbing then this is what you get.
 
MAN that looks good! As all the cars you guys build! (seems to be the common theme :) )

Speedtech is a class act, they build great products!
