Will match the engine bay once I finish putting some more shiny parts in for the extra 20kw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rears will be Rota P45R3 18x12 +20. Just waiting on conformation that the fronts will clear brembos, the Rota dealer sounded confident they would clear but I want to be 100% sure. I am keen to see what the fitment on that is like and how much massaging the guards need. I am looking at changing wheels to the same sizes, but am so unsure about the offsets!

To fit them the front needs rolling and the upper control arm brackets to be drilled to add 3* negative camber. For the rears I'm going to use a replacement bracket from Performance Suspension that allows the turn in of the guard to be trimmed. I believe that's the best way to go for the rears as I have heard of the guard kinking easily when rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look tough with that much neg in the front, just dial a bit of toe in to combat the tyre wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to lower the front properly, will do it tomorrow arvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is too low but it works and I CBF buying new QA1 shocks again. Then I picked these up this morning. Wheels should arrive this week coming but may be a few weeks to fit them up as camber brackets and guards still have to be sorted. Hankook ventus rs3 285/35r18 and pirelli pzero corsa asimetric 335/30r18The the lefts were on sale at a ridiculous price so I got two of those and will get a right once all the guard work is sorted so I don't rub a $800+ tyre out if there's an issue with the guards (the right rear has the higher chance of rubbing due to the pan hard bar).255/35r19 next to 335/30r18And some more shiny in the bay. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
