My PB 08 is stock height and after putting on new Volks and Nitto's, I really don't mind the way it looks.....for now. Later I'm going to invest in coilovers but I know if I want the performance in the suspension and done right, I'll have to pay the right price. My question, is anyone with stock height running on front and rear sway bar and upper rear strut bar. If so, how is the performance in turns and handling.

Nice wheels. But in the side shot the rear wheel looks a little bit like a low-rider with an undersized rim, maybe it's just the angle. I think it will look much better lower with a touch more -ve camber

That looks killer. With the stock height, it doesnt look bad at all..

you need some serious camber to get those wheels to tuck in, your offset is a bit low for an oem suspension setup - which makes the wheels look like they're sticking out (because they are)

All the comments are appreciated.....but since I wanted an aggressive look and chose an 18x10.5+18 wheel, the suspension for right now is stock until I decide what coilovers to get. I wanted to know if anyone had a stock set up and also had the front and rear swaybars on there car so they can let me know how the car handles with stock and front and rear swaybars...

You can take a ride in my super stiff, slammed coilover X if you want some time You'll know you want somewhere between what you have and what I have for a daily driver.

Heck, I'll let you throw the wheels on there to see how much fender you're going to have to roll and pull (it'll help me too ).

And those tires sticking out look silly. I don't think there's enough camber available to fix that... You can get the rear camber adjusted already (I get up to -2.7* in the rear). And it looks like you've not flipped the front camber bolt yet to get to ~-2*.


eh... now that I look at it, I bet with 2* in the rear you'll be ok... will definitely have to roll the fender though.

I don't remember my alignment specs at this point...



Edit again...
for sure I'm -3*F/-2*R here (stock wheels, 245/40/18 tires):

Ryan Gates blue Evo has same wheel set up but his tires are Nitto Nto1's and mine are Invo's.....the lip on the fenders have been shaved. Gates car was my inspiration for my start towards tracking this car....many performance upgrades on order....to be continued.

Here's what BlackTrack said he had to do:

Looks great from the side, I like those wheels

Thanks for the info...I'll take you up on that offer on seeing what you've done to your suspension...I want to learn as much as I can so I can minimize mistakes.

Your going to need a roll. Hit me up when you decide to lower..

The lip on the fenders were shaved off. Jotech Motorsports did the work....thanks for the offer.
