Hello Midwest friends! I will be out at Gingerman a few times in 2014, hope to see you there!

I have no idea how my setup will perform on the road course, it'll be interesting!

Was at Streets of Willow this past Sunday! So much fun. Will be doing a lot more events this year. Tires really felt nice after they warmed up. I dont feel like I pushed them to the limit though.

Definitely! How did you like the tire size you bought? You said 245/50? I may go back down to 245/40, so I don't have to run the 5mm spacer :\

RalliartRsX · 01-02-2014, 05:13 PM

Really liking this thread! Fingers crossed to get the S14 sorted in time for March next year

I feel like I asked already but what width/offset are your rpf1s? I'm on my phone so I can't tell. Getting some 255/40/17s with the tax return and I'm hoping I won't rub the coils.

e1_griego · 01-03-2014, 12:46 AM

What widths/offsets are you trying to run?

I have 245s on 17x9 +35 with 10mm spacers in the front on my hatch, and 255 rs3s on my coupe with 17x9 +22 F/ 17x9.5 +38 R. No rubbing on the coil for either car.

Fuego · 01-03-2014, 12:59 AM

17x9.5 +18f and 17x10 +18r. I'm honestly more worried about rear fenders as is, but I plan on 17x9.5+18 for the rear as well down the road.

e1_griego · 01-03-2014, 01:00 AM

You're gonna need a solid pull to fit that.

Fuego · 01-03-2014, 01:05 AM

The fronts are pulled and rolled to the edge of their life but I think I can squeeze more out of the rears, just don't want to end up with a crease.

17x9+22 squared. I had feddy rs-r 255/40 front and rubbed like 5mm into it
so thatx why i run 245/40 to be safe, and went with RS3, love them

pics for ref

usually i see nrr guys run +35/38 rear? better fitment of wider tire for the rear?
Im unlucky with my 255 i guess :L

e1_griego · 01-03-2014, 01:49 AM

Yeah I run 255 rs3 on the front of my coupe with the koni 8611 setup and I've never had any rub.

In the back it's easier to fit a 255 without rubbing on the fender using a +35/+38.

I think the koni 86s tend to allow the suspension to actually travel more than 'jdm' setups, too (not sure what susp you're running).

. 245 r-comps on 17x8 +30 mustang wheels with 550/400# rates.

*hOngsterr* · 01-03-2014, 01:59 AM

im running zeal function d's with weak spring rates 9k front and 6k rear. i want to build koni's also

sorry the pic is bright

Haha yea i though it was a funny number.

I got a good deal from Wayne @ phase2 on a new not yet released set of Circuit Sports coilovers. Inside rubbed with my 255/40. RPF1 17x9 +22. Even with the spacer I had to run an SPC camber bolt on the lower strut mount. Gave me lots of clearance from the tire to the lower spring perch.

They're nice on the street but not the ideal setup. My rates are pretty weak also 8k/6k. I'll end up going with the Konis once these give. At least it gives me time to piece together a nice set.

I am running this setup exactly, with 255 front and 315 rear tires. I was near 2 inches outside of stock pulled and rolled fenders in the rear and one inch outside the front. Now with 40mm front and 50mm rear widebody, clearance is perfect.

Thanks for the info. I'm stuck with cheap Megan's right now, but a more realistic set hopefully before summer is out.

Sounds like some new fenders will be ordered. Thanks
