^Awesome. Need some wheel spacers on that silver one though.
What suspension/spring rates are you running?

Thanks.... Tein RA, 10KG/600lb springs. non-compliance everything, spherical bearings, bushings, camber kit, etc... Full stiff in front, full soft in rear to minimize oversteer/looseness. No need for spacers, the increased offset would change camber/toe settings... The current set-up will generate 1.6g lateral grip on Hoosier R6... not bad for a 'street' car... :wink:

offset shouldn't change camber or toe but it will affect scrub radius which impacts steering weight and feel. i switched my old car from the aftermarket 17/18 setup back to stock 15/16 before i sold it and was amazed at how much lighter and delicate the steering became.
see you at vir mark!

+1. Widening your stance/increasing your offset has no affect on camber or toe change. However, jtower: a wider stance negatively affects the scrub radius, but in general a wider stance and wider contact patch has a far bigger gain in performance than the negatives of scrub radius effects. Wider grippier tires also increases steering effort. I wouldn't be concerned of either.offset shouldn't change camber or toe but it will affect scrub radius which impacts steering weight and feel. i switched my old car from the aftermarket 17/18 setup back to stock 15/16 before i sold it and was amazed at how much lighter and delicate the steering became.

You really do need wheel spacers. Wider track = more grip and stability!

Picture:
Personally, I wouldn't go full stiff but maybe 1-2 clicks from full stiff up front and be somewhere in the middle in the rear. I wouldn't do that extreme of a split front/rear.Billy, thanks for input. I double checked my spring rates, they're 12K/front, 10K rear; and yes, my dampers are set at full stiff/full soft. I'll be looking into some spacers...
