Thanks for the feedback. :)
The pic is deceiving. The PSSs have huge rim protectors, that's why there's so much overhang. But the sidewall itself is actually stretched in person. Regardless, the GT350R has 19x11s with 305/30-19 Michelins in the front, so I wanted 19x11s with 305/30-19 Michelins...
Thanks. The handling is insane! To be fair, the car has full UPR suspension, Ridetech coilovers, etc... so it handled well before. But with the 305s & 325s on it now, the cornering grip is ridiculous. As long as you're not getting crazy with the throttle (because it's also supercharged now ;) )...
Ridetech Level 2 coilovers. Right now I'm at 350F/400R but I just ordered 450F/600R. Now that the car is no longer a daily driver, my plan is to fully prep it for HPDEs so that it is ready to race as it sits in the garage at any given time. That's why I ordered stiffer springs (and some...
We're really slammed at work right now, but the tentative plan is to produce new front spoilers/splitters which are actually improved versions of what I'm running now. I'm hoping we can go into production before summer 2017.
Thanks for the compliments guys. It was really important to me that I get this right. I'm poor, so I can't just buy a couple sets of Forgelines a year. This was like the cliche, "measure TEN times and cut once!" ;)
I'm sorry, I don't have proper "fitment" pics yet because I've been thrashing on...
You know what? What the heck... everyone in this thread has either directly given me tech info which helped me make the decisions on fitment or they inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and take some risks. I'll give you guys a little preview. I hate posting a crappy cell phone pic, but I...
You did help, more than you realize!
Okay fine, I'll give up a little...
When I put GA1Rs on the Stealth Fighter a couple years ago, someone came along and copied them almost exactly, and it drove me insane! Forgeline can make any of their wheels to any specs and with any finish, so why...
If I say I've spent over 40 hours researching fitment, that would be an understatement. Fitting 325/30-19s on 19x12s wasn't a huge achievement (although they ARE tight in there) but fitting 305/30-19s on 19x11s in the front had me very nervous. However, I think I nailed it. I'm in the middle of...
hehehe... remember months ago when I said my car wasn't aggressive but I would be going aggressive in the future? Welp, today I installed my 19x11 & 19x12 Forgelines! :ninja:
Can't wait to show you guys!! (will probably do the full reveal next week)
awesome! Thanks for always bringing the specs Paul! I'd love to see the front tire with the steering wheel straight. Are there any more pics of this car anywhere?
Best practice for lowering an S550 is to loosen the bolts on the control arms and then retorque them when the suspension is under load. I've heard of bushing noise issues resulting from not doing that...?
