Slammed on 18s, post your pics!

size tires? looks sick! thinking about running the 18x10 +20 all around

I would like to know the tire size as well. My wheels are 18x10 +24 / 18x9 +24.

Sometimes think this is an asianskater91 thread. Nice car. Need to do something about the warping in the opening of the cdc agressive spoiler......but at least you have a front plate now. ;-)

Backs are 275/40/18 and the Fronts are 245/45/18 Faken tires
I just bought Some Sumi HTRZ III's 275's / 255's and they seem to be a bit wider than the Falkens. Going to remove the spacer up front, I think the extra width of the 255's will make up for the spacer.

I like ur car too bro, why last pics of it lowered?

Thanks, yeah the car has gone up and down in height a few times the past few months mainly due comfort.
I think I'm going to move into bags for the rear only, The front lowered is actually pretty good and stable.

So im assuming your on coils right now? How low do you think you went to achieve the flushness in the back, 3''?
and at that height you had to rub those quarters a little, or no?

 

[asianskater91]

^^^WOT, why get bags for the rear? the rear can only go down to where you have it pretty much, i would get them for the front so you can just air it out and drive but thats jut me

but do you rub ur quarters at all? i cut my bump stops way to much so yeah i freaked my quarters up, paint is chipping near the quarters face to wher ei would have to paint it! fuuuuuu

lmao, well this is pretty much the only thread i can post in lol
and photography is my hobby too so sharing pics of progress is good, at least its the topic of the thread haha

but yeah i honeslty dont know how to fix it, i work in a body shop but still lmao its like the opening is too big, maybe heat will fix it but im not really concerned to much...and yeah i dont mind the front plate haha

Yes, I'm on coils. I've never really measured what the drop was from stock height to what it is now, if I had to guess it's probably a bit over 3 inches, Now keep in mind my tires are 26.6" so they are a bit shorter than what came from the factory which I believe if I'm not mistaken 27.2" in height.
The tires rub briefly on really hard launches or big bumps but that's about it.

I was thinking of the bags out back for better ride quality and stability, yeah the car wont go any lower even with bags, plus I don't think you can use camber plates with bags up front which is pretty important for me. I need to research a bit more.

Are your tires rubbing on both sides or just one? If it's on just one side you may need to center you axle with an adjustable Panhard bar.
I have an extra set of eibach bumpstops laying around that you can have but you'll need to have them pressed into your current brackets.
PM your info and I'll have them shipped to you if interested.

I believe I read somewhere of someone making some-sort support bracket that went underneath the grove to straiten it out. If I see it again I'll send you the link.

Yeah, there was a guy on this board I believe that got some L shaped aluminum from Home Depot. Cut a V in the middle on one of the sides and bent the aluminum so it had a slight angle. He then pop rivited it to the underside. Advantage - it's straight. Disadvantage - there are pop rivets that are slightly visible along the back.

 

[DRock]

I'm actually not, I cut them so short, too short actuallyy axle hits the frame on bumps:/ but I just need to by new bump stops and don't cut as much, I've always been on the bump stops and it doesn't ride bad at all, but yeah

oh i know how it rides lol. im a tad and i mean a tad off mine in the rear cut way down..........

Just a cellphone pic at work!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Man that looks good! This makes me want the super sports now instead of eibach pros! How's the drivability? And do you absolutely have to have the camber plates??

Sorry for the late reply on this one but I currently am running stock shocks and struts and it can be rough at times but they are tired out will upgrade sometime after the turbo. And I don't have camber bolts or anything and the fronts were -1.4 and -1.6...... -1.5 is the most in "spec"

 

[1fastfalcon]

I have a question on what offset to get. I can get 18x9.5 et35 or 18x9.5 et25. Im running a 275/40r18 nt555 and have to buy 2 other tires may go 255 for the front. Im slammed on coilovers and i want the tire flush to the fender. Should I go et25 all around or et25 rear et35 front?

Awesome thanks for answering my questions! Did these have any negative affects on your times at the track?

 

[W3bb3r04]

I've never taken it to the track... Shhhh.
But I don't feel like it hooks less on the street. There is a little less weight transfer but enough to still put weight over the rear end. The corners are a whole different story

nice

Mines not slammed yet but I got the 19s at a hell of a deal

What is your tire and wheel size?

Stay tuned we will have a new Mustang bag kit out shortly. Camber plates will be incorporated into the struts and a ton of other awesome stuff I can't talk about at the moment, but it will be killer!

Also if you did decide to go with just a rear bag kit you would go about 1/2" lower than what it looks like you are now.

 

[jpowell2101]

A little low

Not sure how low it is over stock because I bought it this way.

 

[W3bb3r04]

18x10 all the way around with 275/40 Nittos

Personally, I would recommend the ET35 with 275 on all 4 corners. The bulge from the tire should put you right at the fender. You can also camber the fronts to sit flush and if that isn't enough you can always use a small spacer plus you would have the benefit of being able to rotate the tires.
It's always easier to start with higher offset and work the wheel outwards than vise versa.
Now if you are looking for a slight stretch the 255's on 9.5 same ET35 with a spacer.

Glad to hear you guys are working on new stuff definitely looking forward in seeing what you guys bring to the table.

I'm pretty content how low the car is in the back but my main concern is ride quality and this is reason for me looking into rear bags.
I do have a question, Do the bags compensate for road imperfections by adding PSI?
