Hi Victor,

You'll be fine mate, our cars naturally camber negative when lowering so u will find that those wheels that look like they're sticking out actually tuck in once lowered.

i just wanted a different look...too many bigger and nicer gtc's out there at the moment >_<

Hi Roy,

so I am guessing you selling your GT-C? :D Your's look good already, black on gold. Still the only one in WA.

With lowering, I won't be doing it yet because 1. my driveway is abit high and even now with lower profile tyres and big lip kit, I have to go up slow. 2. my other daily car, Mitsubishi Mirage, is on 17's and rub when having 3 people in the car, so can't risk with my V rubbing if I have to have 3 people in the car. I will be tempted when I get another daily.

So with the cruise, do you know when you heading back out yet? Can you still make the cruise?

what wheels were you running?

Intensive Hunks

19x9.5" +17 245/35/19 Tyres

19x11" +10 275/30/19 Tyres

with lowered springs fronts sat flush and rear were poking out about 8-10mm.

here's a few pics.

Coilovers

thanks for the pics bee ...i never intended going coilovers and with 10.5 +0 offset, it would poke +4mm more ...so its a tad too much poke for my liking.

ur last pic with the coilovers is good flushness ...but i can't see going over any road humps riding that low.

same here mate, trying to convince the other half that an evo 9 is actually a better family car. Had a look at a couple already but importing one in may be a better option.

decided to hold off on the wheels for now coz after looking at the flushness of ur wheels, the ones I was looking at would stick out 22mm more...too much poke and would require a lot of roll/pull and maybe -3.5 to -4 camber

i dont think you can import the 9.i had the 7.5 before and signed up evo oz. i read a thread on there and apparently 9 was not available for importing since adm ones were sold here locally.

i never really liked the evo because i had the gta which was auto/tip but just recently has a test drive in an 8mr, adm9 i just fell in love.

No worries mate,

to get out and push to get over the speedbump lol.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
