Andrew built some badass coilsovers using tokico dspecs, swift springs, and ksport tophats full gallery here http://carl-s.smugmug.com/gallery/7369391_nTGp3#474423269_YhjtS
Very nice. I'd love to have a setup like that for my car. It looks like there's still plenty of clearance, but how much room do you lose for running wider tires?
the rears are tight, it was necessary to use spacers when he put his summers on today (that's right, we put the summer tires on lol)
Yeah, you lose a bit in the rear. These were the first ones i made, and were designed for 2.5" springs. I swiched to swifts which are 65mm, so there is a little play. The play is what does it - it clears 225/45-17 on 17x7 ET50 unless the spring is shoved all the way towards the tire. Then it rubs a tiny bit. I'm going to make some little hats for the perches to alleviate that issue. Carl, the ride is better with the summers on. It's also very neutral - driving a circle in that parking lot was sweet - the only thing that happened when i floored it was a bigger circle. No understeer, no oversteer. EDIT: kinda don't want to put the winters back on. Damn cold! EDIT again: by the way, there is tons of room in the front.
just a crappy cell phone pic - EDIT: posted pics in the "Wagons on Coilovers ONLY!!!" thread on nastysock. I did it for the lulz.
