Hey Amirul Where U Gonna Get It Done At? Can Just Any Wheel Shop Do This? What Wheels Did U Get Now?
pretty sure any wheels shop can do wheels alignment.

is that yours S2K on the avatar??
look phat. i want DC04 but already got em on my rexy lol.......
i got 20" ALBA BLVD.
Yeh Thats Mine, Hey Louie Said You Sold Your Wheels, I Would Swap You For The Blvds. Seen Your Rex Man The Wheels Look Hot How Much Did Qs Charge U To Do That?
nah, i still got the BLVD for S2K........was gonna sell it but couldnot find any other rims that i reckon suit the S2K as sexy as BLVD.
post some pics of ur S2K!
would love to see bigger pics of it.........
When you lower the S2K on the deck, the rear wheels not only get loads of neg camber, the rear wheels also toe out.Quote:

To sit the car on the the deck & retain good handling & tyre wear, you'll need the following parts. (or similar) as the standard adjustment is insufficient to overcome the total neg camber & toe out delivered by exessive lowering.
The rear toe problem can be overcome by use of http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/images/prod...es/50209-3.jpg adjustable rear toe rods.
The camber in the rear is corrected using http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/images/prod...es/50209-5.jpg adjustable rear upper arms.
For the front Neg camber adjustment is best acheived, http://www.ikeya-f.co.jp/images/prod...es/50209-2.jpg using adjustable front upper arms.
There are replacements for all arms available, allowing correction of roll centre, camber, toe & castor.
These Ikeya Formula products are what we've used in our sponsored S2K to correct these issues combined with TODA Fightex EX dampers.
Though the bodywork is still being finnished off, here's a sneek peek of what it'll look like.

If the above mentioned type fix for chamber & toe is out of your budget,
Though there are probably less reliable methods available, it would probably be best to simpley raise the ride height to bring the suspension to within the range of the factory adjustment points to acheive acceptable tire wear.
Hope that is of interest or help,

:eek:
man... i'm sooo tempted to do custom bodywork... that should look awesome when your finished... be sure to post up pictures :thumbsup:
Here's my situation:
I bought a set of Eichbach springs that were supposed to lower my car 1.5inches, however it seems to be more like 3 inches and after 1 year the new camber has chewed through $1400 worth of tires (2 were half worn and the other 4 brand new Bridgestone tyres fukd up within 6 months.
The front tyres are down to the canvas on the inside but the outside are hardly worn at all.
Not the mention the rears, they are hardly as f*ked as the front but still extremely bad.
It now seems that to lower the S2k without wearing out tires I'll need to spend $800 on these parts above and then new tyres??
Why didnt i just stick with the stock springs!!!!! What a headache.
Has anyone else experienced this??
It's because your useing lowering springs on stock shocks it will wear out the shocks quicker, and cause your suspension to sag. Change in suspension = change to aligment.
I'm running -2.5degrees camber on the rear and my last set of re001 were wearing perfectly. I was running 0 toe but. And i Just have coilovers no arms.
Sorry to hijack the thread guys.
I'm totally confused now.
