It affects the vehicles scrub radius. Scrub radius is as follows:Quote:

It can adversely affect suspension components. Ideally it promotes increased directional stability. So if you have wider tires and wheels and all the other issues have been resolved it shouldn't be a serious detraction from the vehicles performance. But it can become far to excessive to be useful in more traditional racing endeavors (F1, WRC, Nascar, etc etc...).
short suspension travel is only good on flat corners. ex Hitting a rumble strip/bump in a hella flush car = outa control
it can cause oversteer

17x9+24 all the way around
225s up front, 235s rear
Megan coils, front collars removed, rears all the way down, collars still there
I need to fix my caster and take away about a degree of camber in the rear, all fenders rolled and pulled a bit.
O snap
haha yes this is the same car that came and picked up the coils, and those are your coils =] Thanks again!Quote:

Yeah mexican flush, the front wheels poke out a bit too far for my taste atleast.Quote:

Just as functional as any other galant, just has to go slower over speed bumps. The front lip was 3$, I could care less if it gets torn up/ripped off.
Fitment actually looks really good. Anything rub?
If you need more camber adjustment up front, I actually used a strut to knuckle bolt out of an S13 to adjust camber from the bottom of the strut. I know you're into that so I'd look into it if the camber plates on the c/o's max out.Quote:

JUST MESSIN MAN LOOKS GOOD
i used ingalls cam bolts to add more camber under the mac pherson, top plate can onll go so far. i spaced out the rear to add as much poke as i could to try and match the fronts. makes it less functional but looks better.
wish i had coilovers so i could lower the front
^I have the ingalls camber bolts up front as well, but it's easier at the track to play with camber with the camber plates up top, so that's why I got them machined extra.
The only thing is same style wheels, sizing is different, color, etc :spin:Quote:

i had 215/35/19 on my other wheels and there's very little room in about .5 '' from the fender, besides i want to be able to drop it low but still have a littile more rubber to cushion the wheels.
I'm just going on my personal experience, I'm as low as you can go on a static drop and my next tire choices would be 215/225s
how much of a drop is ur set up though?
Megan racing coils all the wy around, fronts maxxed out with the collars removed and strut body moved up, and rears are maxxed out with the collars still in
