Check out my 245s on my RS

Suspension:

DMS40mm
350lb Front
300lb Rear
DMS/MSI Camber Plates- Rear
DMS/MSI Castor/Camber Plates- Front

-2.5 Camber Front
-.5 Camber Rear













After some more advice from the suspension guru at DMS North America, I'll see about lowering the car more. I think right now, even though it's high, it rides great, and handles pretty well.

No Rubbing... I'm here to put an end to all this. No Rubbing. My car is a little high though, but It will go down another 1/4 Inch most likely.

245/45/16 Hankook RS-2s on 16x8 Rota Slipstreams et48mm

Thumbs up

Your suspension gives the car a smooth look. Like you said, maybe a little lower in front. How's the ride quality for street driving and is this the only driving you do?

I'll be more impressed when you top my 235/40R17 S03s. Nice setup though man. I bet it compares favorably to where I was with my RS.

Damn nice. I need to stiffen it a little, but the ride is REALLY smooth overall.

I believe it, I've heard great things about them. Just pointing out the fact I've had more wheel stuffed under my RS than you do.

Damn Gagan! I cant believe that it does not rub the strut! It must be real close though. Nice! I was thinking of doing this on my GF8 (I sold the WRX)

nice stance, but won't that kill your wheel bearings?

All the time my car spent on lower-than-stock offsets and sticky rubber never hurt mine.

I'll probably be ok, since this is not my daily setup. pretty much after today, only for auto-X.

I did just notice a tear on the boot on the left axle shaft, inside portion! Gonna need to get that fixed.
