Steve's DC5S

Beat me to the punch, +45 will have no chance on the rear (I grinded it with +35 lol), +45 would also severely restrict the amount of camber you can have on the front, would go with +35 as a minimum if you want to use more then 2 degrees which you certainly will.

Also, Squeeky seat rails suck so much!!! Going to take the whole damn thing apart and redo it to make sure its all torqued propery. Should have gone for Bride rails...

thanks steve, much appreciated. You reckon I could squeeze -3.5 front camber with 17x9 +35 with 255/40/17?

-3.5 is alot. I be going +22 on the 9" wheel. Since u going brand new. Why dont u get 9+22 front and 9+30ish in the rear? I think if u go +22 in the rear and maintain a tyre width, u be running toomuch camber?

With 255 tyres, definitely need +22 in the RPF1 fitment, the extra tyre width will almost certainly hit the strut at that camber. In my previous alingment i had the front at 3.4 degrees front camber with my 235 but thats getting quite close.

At track specs you want at least 2 degrees on the back, a +22 with 225 or 235 should get under the guards if you have a sensible height. Tom's car was similar specs but i can't recall how much rear camber he had.

Whats up with the rails? Are they not tight enough or is there play in them? i've fitted mine, so far so good. Only issue I have is the buckle area or buckle needs to be modified abit because its too close to the actual seat. There was soo much crap underneath my seat haah...

hahaha i found about $10 in coins under the seat rail Yeh not impressed with the seat rails at all, they are all torqued down very tightly but whenever i accelerate or go into a cornes the lifting side creaks and squeeks, sliding mechanism is also very rough and poorly designed. Considering taking them back tbh.

The spg and mine are designed to be used only with harnesses, oem belts can be made to fit but wont hold you in properly around the waist. I am getting pricing on half cages and harness bars to mount my harness on.

[andrew84tran]

i need -3.5 min front and -2.5 min rear which i already have.

i need to run 245/40 rear and 245/40 or 255/40 front.

best bet i think is 17x8.5 +30 front
and 17x8.5 +40 rear.

i cannot fit 255/40/17 with 17x9 +22 as my I want my car as low as it can go.

[andrew84tran]

im currently running te37 17x8.5 +30 with 245/40/17 front with -3.6 camber so i know this will work

You sure Steve? remeber my Rotas, 9.5+30 witha 235/40 tire on the rear. Comparing a +22, it will be only 2mm wider, and my guard even rolled - if you ran your finger on it, you would pick up some rubber, so it was quite close. Then again, the rear had a lil reverse rake going on, and it was tucking about 1.5-2cm in tyre. From that, I wouldnt go a +22 in the rear, unless your at a much higher height. Now Andrew84tran wants to go as low as possible, so i wouldnt run such a flush tyre/guard for track specs. thus my statement on the 9 +35.

[andrew84tran]

Steve, outta curiosity, have you rolled your rear guards?

[stevan]

rear guards have been rolled

BEast with the harness bar! Is the harness bar mounted between the seatbelts or do you need to half cage it?

Glad the rails are good Norm!

The harness bar doesnt need a half cage, just bolts similar to this NRG one....



BTW i took out my seat and dissasembled the seat rail, greased it up and played around with the sliders. One of the rails was not greased at all and the ball bearings were bouncing around like crazy, they are silent now though and slide a lot better Only bad thing is i threaded the thread on the back right chassis bolt for the seat
