My GP with the SSR C RS wheels and g-force TDK 2 tires for wet track days.

 

Looks nice.
What size are the wheels (dia, width, offset) and tires?
Are you using wheel spacers? If so, what size?

 

The wheels are 17x7.5 with 42 offset. Tires are 215/45/17 BF Goodrich g-force KDW 2. You would need 3mm spacers for the Stoptech's, however I needed to use 8mm to clear the thicker coilover strut.

 

Looks very cool.

 

VERY nice

 

Man that is one nice looking GP! I really like the hood scoop, and is it just me or are your seats also red?

 

what's the diameter of the coilovers? I have Bilsteins, the same size/offset wheel and 215/45/17 RE01R's which are sized more like 225's in width (no rubbing). The last set of wheels had 3mm more offset and were close, but no rubbing.

 

Thanks,
The seats were a idea I got from seeing the MC 40 seats and after several coffee spills by my wife and I, we decided to make the seats all leather. It's not everyone's cup of tea but we enjoy it .

 

They look quite a bit thicker than the JCW struts, but I'll measure them tomorrow. With the GP wheels I still needed the 8mm spacers.

 

That looks sharp.

It's funny - 17s look "small" on a GP.

 

best gp yet :] what coils are you running?

 

Thanks,
The M7 coilovers with H-Sport adjustable camber plates and adjustable rear lower control arms. I have negative 2 camber front and rear.

 

The set I'm saving up for to use for dry track days will have smaller tires, 205/40/17, now that will look a little silly , when I get them I will post a pic

 

Nice looking setup.

 

I've seen Gary's GP, not with these wheels though, and it is sick. Has to be one of the nicest, if not the nicest GP's in the country. From the suspension to the roof graphics, to the interior, to the engine & exhaust, it's awesome.

 

wow...great looking GP!!

 

wooo looks nice,
I like the Big Fat Brakes too

 

Thanks for the positive feedback guy's

 

I tried 5mm spacers today, great, no rubbing but close .
The original outside of the strut is about 1/2" less in diameter and a lot less inside than the coilover. The old spring is noticable bigger too. This is the best picture I could take for comparison. The Bilsteins are real nice ciolovers, how much negative camber do you drive with?

 

The SSR's & BBK look fantastic on your car and I really like how your car "sits" in the pictures you posted. Is that a Way brake duct I see behind the rotor?

 

Thanks , yes that is the Way brake duct, it works great, when I was at Watkins Glen I had no brake fade and that was with the JCW brakes.

 

What made you decide on -2 camber both front and rear?

And, if I make the trip up to Cresskill, will you take me for a ride in that freakin' awesome car??

mb

 

LDG set it up me to be good on the track and resonable for road use as far as tire life is concerned.
What about coming to V-17 with us next time a group of us goes.

 

THUMBS UP! Looks great! I like the red seats too. I thought to maybe do some Red Recaros in mine. They make them in a nice Red color to compliment the red interior Maybe in the spring!

Again lookin sharp (and serious I might add!)

 

the stock setup is wider in the spring area, but the perch sits above the tire. Coilovers normally allow wider tires to be used....I guess it's just odd to me to be forced to run spacers to use a coilover. Counter-intuitive

I'm running -2F and -1.4R. I think I'm going to dial out some front camber.....I'm spinning my 215 RE01R's into third.
