Hossam we coulda swapped evvverything off my old car to yours b4 I sold it!!! I miss that frigg'n car! Woulda been SIIIIIIICK with wheels if i would have gotten wheels for it. 35's can run MUCH more agressive offsets then 37's.

Oh well, I def wouldn't trade it for my 6mt...or the extra 50 hp!

There's actually more then just 1 location too. Found their site when i was looking at doing my garage floors. Staying away from it though to avoid peeling nightmares.

I was kitted up with the Gialla front lip and ING sides bud. Where in Peng's photo he was still rockin' the Sport front. So GROUND CLEARANCE wise from the photos, yes that's the case.

You have go off the wheel gap. My wheel gap seemed VERY even, possibly a little higher in the FRONT then the rear, just slightly. Peng's on the other hand his front sits a little lower then the rear, VERY close.

you also have to consider Peng has 20's on his car, where I have stock 18's in the photos.

i can see that now on Peng's but yours is hard to see the gap since its a black car (the gap, fender, and tires blend together a little!).

So you think yours didn't need any camber kits?

I know 100% I didn't need a camber kit. I went to the Allignment Guy in Bloomington and he 100% brought it back within spec. It was VERY CLOSE, but nope, no need!! Was a huge +++ when I was shopping and searching for suspensions for my 35.

Now w/ the 37 and now that I have a DD, that's all thrown out the window! Even w/ my 37 slammed I was still able to get up my driveway at a 45 degree angle w/ no problems.

If you want to go lower, a rear camber kit is NOT that spendy either, prob like 200 bucks through THMotorsports. Not sure what just the rear would be, I ordered my front and rear at the same time.

Sounds like those two brands would be my optimum choices. Now i just have to make a decision on how low i wanna go and see if i need the camber kits. if i need cambers for one end, i'd probably get em both just to be even!

No that i think about it, i for sure don't wanna go too low that my tiers tuck under the finders. i do like to see the tire line and then a light gap (maybe as big as the finger thickness or something! Man, i really need to see Peng's and Tevi's in person. I have a feeling once i see em in person, i'll make my mind right then and there.

and Lance, don't worry about not thinking about swapping parts before you sold the 35, i didn't think about it either. but i do very much appreciate the thought man but you can maybe help me with the installs though

those pics should give you an idea. Those are the final shots i took of my 35 before i sold it the week after. Those are tanabe NF210's.

Also, camber kits won't make it "uneven" if you only have one in the rear. The rear tends to /camber\ in quicker then the fronts because of the arms. The aftermarket camber arms are adjustable w/ a bolt and allows you to lengthen or shorten the arm itself. The fronts are an entire "A-arm".

Here's Tevi's, Peng's, and mine lined up.

Damn you all for making me read through 3 pages of crap just to get back to the current posts. FML! How is everyone doing? Looks like I've been quite a bit out of the loop as of lately....

For the record, I just want to say I love driving with rush hour traffic in the morning. Nothing like going 75 in a 60 and being passed LOL. Don't feel bad Hossam, Lance's Impala and your Deville put my Accord to shame...but it just doesnt want to die lol

they're about the same... man, i might just pick one and go with it. if the tanabes are softer, i might go with that but i'll see what Peng has to say about the h-techs rid like. and i must say that i like that front lip. i cant find that gialla lip in CF though. i'm still trying to decide if i want CF or painted front lip and rear diffuser?! i think CF on black looks good but still 100% on that!

I'm actually not a fan of CF on black but its all up to your preference.

The gialla lip when i bought it was actually extremely rare. its made of ABS plastic, so VERY dirable unlike fiberglass. I loved it!

WELCOME BACK MIKEYYYYY
