Oh hi.
I've been lurking here for a while for the wealth of motivation in the build threads and such. I has a '96 GT4. Being in NZ, it is a JDM facelifted one - no trispokes here, though unfortunately noone in the car's past ever thought to pick up projectors. It currently looks like this:  Anyway, hi, sup etc. Oh, I have a build thread here, and am much too lazy to cross-post everything! http://www.gpforums.co.nz/showthread.php?threadid=435792 This post has been edited by Anoroc: Jan 11, 2015 - 5:47 AM |

theres a reason why the rear is jacked up like that, and why the rear track is 5mm narrower than the front, its to reduce the understeer inherent in the chassis and drivetrain design,
in my experience (trial and mostly error) the best setup that looks good and is still functional is 17x8 ET25 (or equiv in spacers, which requires fender roll), reduce rear negcamber from -2 to -1 and increase front negcamber from 0 to -1 (even all round) ride height should be mostly same all round since reducing the rear negcamber will reduce rear grip but lowering the rear will increase it again. rear spacer and lowered rear = understeer city -------------------- Mike W
