the lifestory of a DC5S...

[crashprash]

just got skunk2 rear lcas fitted..looks so nice!..can feel that the rear is a lot stiffer now...also checked clearance between closest point of rear trailing arm and oem wheel and got roughly 3cm..new wheels stick out inside by 1.8cm so i guess it should fit....measured with car on ground with stock ride height. (which is how it will be running with the new wheels :P)

did u get that for front? coz i want that combo for the rear

[plAythiNG]

i got ds2500 and dba.

[crashprash]

i'll let you know, I have that exact same setup, jsut rnning stock calipers, and u have the BALLER SPOON ONES.... feel free to come voer to my palce this saturdya if u want. having my car delviered back to my place, and then test it out

nah its ok..i got exams as well...so u got mx72 and dixcel or r u tlking abt ds2500 and dba?

Wheels look great! Did you take a picture of how close the rear wheel was to the trailing arm? Stevan's experience suggests that might be the first point of contact. The DC5 rear suspension moves in mysterious ways.

Coming from u thats a massive compliment! thanks!..nah didnt take a pic but i did check it and it seems a pretty big gap and wouldnt the arm move up/down with the wheel anyway?:S so it shouldnt hit right? also camber would push it away as well?

btw forgot to comment, rims and spoon bbk look fcking sick, wish i had the monoflex too id love those for track man jelous! the wheels will fit fine, if you were low you would have issues with the rear wheels hitting the trailing arm for sure since i experience this with 9j +35 at 1.5 degrees of camber, dial in at least 1.5 on the rear and 2.5ish fronts and it should all fit together very nicely man.

I want to lower your car personally just so i can see it low with this setup

yeah for sure!..if ur willing to keep buying me new b-pipes or redo my driveway and my road:P
