jasevr4 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Did the wire cut mod. It certainly builds up the revs a lot quicker while braking now but I can't say I noticed a huge difference. I do have some big wheels on though and no (or insignificant) power mods though...

From memory they are 19x9.5 +20, quite a bit of low and some slight guard rolling was done too I believe - Jase can correct me if Im wrong Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348629-what-have-you-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/190/#findComment-6141984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory they are 19x9.5 +20, quite a bit of low and some slight guard rolling was done too I believe - Jase can correct me if Im wrong Yep as above. Ultimately it just comes down to what height you want to run your car at. Chris aka spoolin12 runs the exact same wheel size (maybe a +22 instead of a +20, can't remember), with the same tyre (245/40 R19) and runs his car a bit higher. The rear wheels are flush (the rears were never really a concern, only fronts), and the fronts hang just slightly out of the guards. Mine is that bit lower (still pretty high, I never bottom out except for on big spoon drains when any other car would, or during a hasty exit from the RAAF base the other day ) so it's running that bit more camber. Front and rear they sit absolutely perfect. We rolled all four corners on my car - all it needs is the lip folded up. Now that mine is a bit lower now I don't even think that the rears needed any folding. Fairly confident I've never rubbed a guard, and IF I did it was under a fair amount of compression as I hit a dip in the road coming down one of the hills on Tregarthen Rd. Couldn't see any rubber missing from the tyre or left on the guard, so I'm not particularly concerned. Long story short, they will fit, and look HOT. How well they fit comes down to heights. If you're going to run it higher (similar to Dale's heights in the BC BR thread, I'd probably go for a 19x9+20 or a 19x9.5+30). Really just comes down to preferences. PM me if you want to check them out one night.

slippylotion Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 What about tyre wear with that camber? That can't be good.

jasevr4 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 What about tyre wear with that camber? That can't be good. Just shy of 1.5 deg from memory. As my post above, it's all a personal opinion. If people don't like mine that's fine.

slippylotion Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I like the look I yours, just curious about your camber to fit them flush with guards thats all. Mine is about 10mm higher than yours and is running -2.5deg front and -2deg rear. And already seeing inner tyre wear with the limited km's I've done.

I'll double check the print out tonight but I'm 99% confident that I'm running about -1.5deg both front and rear.

slippylotion Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah had an alignment. Wasn't overly happy with the mob that did it.

I'll double check the print out tonight but I'm 99% confident that I'm running about -1.5deg both front and rear. Well there's two columns on the report they gave me - "Diagnosis" and "Adjustment". My guess is that it's the Adjustment column (as follows).. Front Partial Toe: Left 0,8 Right 0,6 Toe: 1,4 Set back: -0°28 Camber: Left -1°52 Right -1°58 Camber dif.: +0°06 Caster: Left +6°58 Right +6°34 Caster dif.: +0°24 King pin: Left +7°22 Right +6°40 King pin dif.: +0°42 Included angle: Left +5°30 Right +4°42 Rear Partial Toe: Left 1,0 Right 1,0 Toe: 2,2 Camber: Left -1°56 Right 1°58 Camber dif.: +0°02 I realised two things while typing that out. 1. I need to find my scanner. 2. You might have been referring to combined left and right camber on your car?

slippylotion Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just double checked mine. Not quite as bad as I thought but the rear is too much. Front camber is L -2.09deg R -1.22deg Rear camber is L -2.06deg R -2.01deg The rear i would like at -1.00deg most and front I want to even it up at -1.22deg both sides. I installed offset bushes up from to help an waiting on the SPC offset bolts for the rear. Then I'll take it somewhere else and get it aligned again Where did you get yours done?

jasevr4 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Where did you get yours done? Adelaide Radial Tyre at Holden Hill. They do a lot of motorsport cars and seem to have a very good reputation. They kind of dicked me around with times but the work was good and the price wasn't too high.

slippylotion Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Dealt with them on a business level before. I think I'll give them a miss and go back to Pedders at ridgehaven. Didn't have time to get to pedders when I had the m35 done and went to tyre power on north east road.
