Saw a Blue FC in Oakville Yesterday

As I can't say in the thread title that I saw BWEK's FC yesterday, I thought that this would suffice.

The car looks great with the 17" white wheels and the extreme lowering job. ONly issue that I see is the gross amount of rear camber that will limit the accel grip and cornering grip available. Bwek, you relly need to get a rear subframe camber adjuster. It will clear up that 5 degrees of negative with no issues.

Other than that, the car looks very nice from 50 feet away. Great clean racy look!

What you need is the adjustable subframe locating rod. You need to shorten the strut that pulls up on the front of the subframe. This rotates the subframe and brings both rear wheels an equal amount inwards at the bottom. This reduces the negative and if you make it adjustable like mine, you can actually set the rear camber to what you want. Cheap and easy part to make or buy.

I thought they wheel were to large for 17's, but I cant believe that you shoe-horned 18's in to the front fenders, wow!!!!!!

Im not sure weather to go with the AWR racing Camber adjusters or go with the tension rod

I plan on basically rebuilding the entire front and rear suspension with new hardware and bushings

i couldn't believe I could be this low on 18"s lool
