Hey Everyone, I'm not sure if this has been done, I know it has somewhere, had to of been, anyway, what wheels and fitment is everyone running? Im running Koya's new 2015 SFo6 wheels in Matte Black 20 inch, 9.5 fronts with +35 offset and 10.5 rears with +38 offset. Allows for flush fitment running exactly parallel with my wheel arches. Looks sex. Just need to drop it a bit and ill be sitting pretty. Post Pics of your ride on ya shoes below! And of course if this is not a correct forum (cuz im still nooby at forums,) Delete please.

And no Im ordering Some brand with pretty good reviews, Gecko Coilovers, monotube design. Pretty good price at 1300. Will see how they go and bite the bullet for them,

Hey mate if you decide to buy locally i got a brand new set that i never got around installing and thinking about selling. Pm me if interested cheers

edit: they are not this Gecko brand, its a japanese brand distributed by Tanabe

Ah, OK, that makes a little more sense. It does look good, without a doubt but it's still too impractical on Sydney roads at least. You'll be forever snaking your way over speed humps at a snail's pace. I'd aim for a finger's gap between the top of the tyre and lip, for practicality's sake.

Also, if you think it's going to improve handling around bends significantly, keep in mind you already have 4WAS on this beast. If I can navigate 90km/h bends at 180km/h on factory height, you'll only be a little tighter around them by comparison. If you're going to throw it around the track, then it makes sense to do what you plan on. But if it's just to drive around town (and flirt with the law every now and then), the benefits are far outweighed by the impracticality.

Not trying to shatter dreams here. Just giving food for though. That and I just don't like being stuck behind vehicles that take years to navigate over speed humps because they dropped the thing too damn low.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
