What you think of the Pro-kit front only slight rake? PICS

ero 5.0 · May 1, 2015

Niche gt5 M/T street comp 305/35/20 in rear 255/35/20 in front. With the fat rears sticking out I dont think the pro kit woulda worked in the rear so I just installed the pro kit springs in the front, kept the PP springs in the rear. Has a slight rake. I think it looks killer, couldnt be happier with how it came out, and think i'll be keeping it this way. the front offset is a little off, I put 5mm spacers, but might go bigger to flush it out a little. What you guys think overall? :ford:

Looks really good. These cars look fantastic with a slight rake. I'm looking to go a bit lower all around. Got some off set springs from CJ pony. 1.5 front and 1.0 rear. They look to be a rebranded eibach sportlines front and pro's rear.

I'm loving it man!

I was definitely expect to like it better lowered all around, but with your setup I really do like it this way!

Good work :cheers:

With the 19's I was originally gonna lower it all the way around, but with the 20's filling up that rear well, I decided to just do the front and couldnt be more happy with the results.

Nice! What are the offsets on your wheels?

These cars need a raked stance, at least in my opinion. I'm going to put Sportline springs in the front and keep the Pro kit springs in the rear to get that look

car looks hot

I'll buy your front Pro Kits if you do this. I want to do like the OP did.

They are 20 x 8.5 +35mm fronts, 20x10 +45mm on rear

I like it, I was waiting to see somebody do this, I agree these cars look killer with a forward raked stance. :thumbsup:

They don't poke because they're fat, I have 20x11 with 315s with zero poke, it may be the offset and/or the stance as to why it pokes.

What are the offsets on your wheels? You have Forgestar's, right?

I'm with you on that one ero,

You definitely made the right choice.

Let me know if you ever need anything!

Now, that's an interesting idea. I have the same situation. 20" wheels, concerned about back, if I lower it.

So, maybe just front.

Any issues doing that? Handling?

You are joking, right? It's not that extreme, is it?

One follow-up - if doing just the fronts, think it'd be better to go with the original Steeda's instead? They only have a 1" drop. Not sure if the extra .1" or .2" (or whatever it is with the Eibach's or new Steeda's) will make much of a difference ?
