I wish I could say hello to the xd9s..

did you drive the tl to arizona?

beems240sx · 01-25-2014, 03:18 AM

Acquired.

beems240sx · 01-25-2014, 04:42 PM

Well it was a pain in the ass to get these too fit. I still need smaller tires up front but for now I'm happy. I had to remove a few nuts from the multi link arms to add more caster, more negative camber, and more toe in. Wasn't thrilled about that but they fit and look nice

Here's what I was dealing with.... Oh boy

Brought them to work to mount up

After a couple hours fucking with the arms

Way more camber than I wanted to run. But oh well looks cool

Now to spend a couple hours polishing them

benarovi · 01-25-2014, 10:21 PM

what size tire is that on the rear? that is a lot of camber for the rear especially from your last setup. try shaving the fender and taking some out

265/35r18, ill probably switch to 255/35 once i destroy these. my last setup has 0 camber. i cant shave it anymore i would have to bow the fenders. so just leaving it as is. car slides nice and clutch kicks easier now haha

Yeah I know it is. Might try a 245/35 so I can take some camber out. Or just flip the tires a lot lol

juvi22003 · 01-28-2014, 09:22 AM

Damn looks good but i hope i don't have to run so much camber since mine will be a daily, whats the full specs on your wheels?

jr_ss · 01-28-2014, 11:11 AM

And you thought you didn't have traction before...

Oh yeah? I might go to pavs this weekend. Have yet to check it out

KevinEdgar · 01-29-2014, 01:18 PM

Damn dude, just went through your build while at work. Super awesome and thorough build, I love it! It does suck that you have to run so much camber in the rear now, and I must say it looks odd that the front camber isn't equal to the rear.

In for some videos of this thing shredding!

Hatemy7 · 01-29-2014, 02:45 PM

bro this thing is insane. over 30k? wow that is crazy. Ive never spent that much on a car. I think the most has been 10k and that was it for me lol

Was thinking about taking my red 14 up to pavs this Saturday also. Might catch ya there

Hatemy7 · 01-30-2014, 11:29 AM

What made you move to chicago?

beems240sx · 02-01-2014, 11:11 PM

Stopped by a buddies house

Guess I rub a little bit

Started tonight off by running out of gas on the highway. Luckily a friend rescued me

Finally made it to the Scottsdale pavilions and a Asaim guy driving a GTO decided he didn't like my rear bumper that much

Went to the ATM to get his insurance info

I swear I just shouldn't have nice things.

dtfdanyo · 02-02-2014, 12:44 PM

He was trying to correct your rear camber

xoxide · 02-02-2014, 02:52 PM

Never thought id say this, but your car looked sooo much nicer with the XD9's on it.

I did really like the xd9. Just needed a change

hobbs · 02-02-2014, 04:26 PM

Man, at least it wasn't a focus getting revenge...

beems240sx · 02-02-2014, 06:10 PM

It was a taurus jake...

beems240sx · 02-10-2014, 06:36 PM

Last couple pictures with the precision before I ship it to the new owner. Now that I live in an environment where I can drive the car everyday I opted for a gt2871r bottom mount. Plus with the shitty 91 octane here I'll be more than happy with 400 at the wheels. Next setup will probably be a twin scroll gtx30 if I ever get bored of it

SamsonS4 · 02-10-2014, 08:29 PM

looks great but your front tire needs to be not as wide looks not streched at all and go lower to match the rear

SamsonS4 · 02-10-2014, 08:39 PM

i'm talking about the front not the rear

beems240sx · 02-10-2014, 08:56 PM
