lowered

HOT! When the weather breaks, I would love to come by and get a ride in it....

Did you the lower the same front and rear? It almost looks as if the rear is lower than the front now.

 

Not disrespect but I think the wheel spacers are a bad idea for two reasons:

1) subjective but I prefer the look with the wheels inset

2) not subjective, you are going to get paint chips all over the body.

 

Looks great now take that baby out and throw some rooster tails in the snow.
I think I'm a scooch lower in the front and just as wide with no rubbing/ issues at all unless you include any speed bumps, thats another story LOL

 

+1 on the chips.

Don't space out the front wheels 15mm, maybe 5 or 10 max, I like the wide flush stance myself with 15mm spacers all around but you will chip the door vents, mirrors and front half of the rear quarter panels with 15mm front spacers. Ask me how I know, I learned that on the silver 348. I will not be spacing out the fronts on my black 355, that car is chipfree.

Lowering for stance effect can also be achieved by sizing up tire diameter and lowering the chassis half as much. I went with 225/45 front and 275/40 rear, fills the wells perfectly w/o sacrifcing ride quality over Chicago roads.

Yes, I used 4 corner scales to balance the chassis.

 

No, its close I run 1.75 camber which helps also

 

What did you do to the wheels to make them black? Send them out for powder coating? Or just use plasti-dip so you could run them in the winter?

 

All that matters is the smile on your face ...

 

Toe may change also

You best bet is get her aligned and get a printout

A shop that has scales to weigh each corner is best and record everything
Have them check your thrust angle also, seen this off quite a bit on 4 wheel independent cars that are rear drive.

 

Right. As Tim mentioned, several things change when ride height is adjusted. Lowering the rear increases understeer too. Spring rates also matter, as does tires.

The car might look good sitting in your garage, but when you drive it in the spring you might be in for a surprise even if you don't track your car.

A lot of time was spent by my shop adjusting my F355 Challenge's ride height and alignment to Challenge specifications. The same thing applies to a street version F355.

That expression might change if the car understeers or oversteers...

The car looks nice lowered.

 

Yeah looks great. So 15mm spacers up front will casue stone ships? Hmm, now I'm not so sure with my brand new paint. I have one chip in the bumper and the mirror pivots have chipped from grinding when folding. Maybe they weren't baked properly but this has me thinking...

 

personally , i'd leave the spacers , i think the factory offset makes the cars look awful. i've driven mine 3500 miles with wider offset wheels and don't see a single chip.

 

I second that. I have ran hills spacers front and rear on my cars for years also with 295 rears.
There's nothing in the way of excess stone chips to write home about.
