hahaha bro when i first saw you i was like this guy looks familiar LOL, then i went to cousins house so he could pick up his em1 because we were going to work on it at my place then his like 'isnt it that namtaro guy we saw at carribean jdmst meet?' lol. I live like 1-2mins away from where you were at so yeah lol. Was good seeing you though and your cousins got a awesome dc2r!
Hope to see you and your eg again sometime :)
haha yerh... your cousin has a very clean em1 i must say... i was tripping when i saw his stock em1 and ur ej8 lol
Yeah it is clean, looks so clean i tend to think its been freshly resprayed from previous owner lol. But since his owned it his been quite unlucky lol. I just want to steal his front lip at times >.>

Finally lowered her with the new wheels! -3.5 camber at the front (from hardrace camber arm) and natural at the rear.
looks good as man, cant wait to see this thing in reality, i was going to get 15x8 j speeds but didn't want to attract too much attention. Might get another set of 15x8s when i have spare $$
15x8 +25 with 205/50/15 gogogo... lowered no finger gap height... perfect =)
Would be more poke though woouldn't it? Prob need pumped guards with natural camber (or neg 2-4 deg) to pull that off. Havent seen anybody here run 15x8 +25 on 205/50s
THanks man! Would be nice if we could get a little eg/ek meet in the future. I reckon 15x8 are perfect for EKs. roll guard and lowering should be good!Quote:

another pic i found online

lol 2-4" negative camber to fit x8 +25.
Yeah i thought so, looks good being the with 8inch and no stretch on tyres, idk stretch tyres kinda turn me off. But would require abit of work to fit them in, is it possible to just pull the guards out alot? Heard its possible to fit x8 +25 on natural camber by pulling the guards out.
I pulled around 2cm out of front guards before the whole panel started deforming a lot.
Just go steal one of nam's wheels when he's at tpnm and test fit. Haha
ahaha i tested axis og sand 15x8 +25 on my car and pokes out alot! Even on natural camber. And my rears were rolled as well..i'll consider getting 8 inch wheels later on down the year, i just want a lip now -looks at PHO-
Its my lip bitch. Go buy some ek9 style one :P
It pokes out cause you not low enough. More low = more kamber C?
lol i'll get one soon dw :P
And yeah thats true well my cars raised up as of today and will be up for a while, family car is down and my car is being used as the family car lol, so when i get family car up and running, it'll be lower then before :)
15x6 +60 woud better on a ek imo
any photos of those specs? offset is abit high dont you think?
Never doubt the infamous Lan
his not being serious lulz
never ran camber kits when i had 205/50 on 15x8 +25 =S
but lan always serious ><
ahh what a crazy guy lol, my 15x8s poked out heaps! And i was runniing on 195/50s.
Well today i chucked on some BWR Extended Lugs since my cheapie one that came with tyres were crap and made me chip my rim a little ><"

Those pics were with the front jacked up. His car's full 4wd spec (like 2 finger gap rear, 4 finger gap front. Poking like a mofo all round. LolQuote:
