15mm of difference


If an inch is as good as a mile then 15mm is as good as awesome!


Inspired by others and my constant photo chops, I decided to lower the car this morning.


Both ends tuck nicely under the wells. Rears are 18x9.5+38 265/35 and I'm on the limit of my KTS Sigma shocks. Fender is 630mm from the ground at the center. These track focussed items were never intended to be super low (there are other shocks for that)


Fronts have a bit more to play with but the fenders and liners dont. Fender is 623mm from the ground. Full lock there is just a tad of grinding on the front lower bumper when shocks are extended. but thats avoidable by driving style. Fronts are 18x8.5+35 with 325/40


I went back and did a better shoot (albeit all 1 minute.) All the sakura are starting to fall in the wind. Turning a pink sky into the pink carpet and a touch of green. Next week these trees will be green and not a sign of pink.


You may remember this location from here. It's 1klm away but couldn't be more different.


These are the roads around Disney Tokyo hotels. Disneyland is only now just re-opening after the earthquake. This land is reclaimed and not 100% stable. Some big cracks around but repairs are complete.


I'm loving this shot. It shows the height I'm at. Of course lower would be nice, but thats as far as it will go.
On the track the rear wing will provide some squat also.


The car dives a bit "flatter" also, it's independantly adjustable to this height so there is no impact on ride from the last setting. Just a little more natural camber.
