Hello everybody. I just spent all day putting on the new suspension and wheels on the UA7. Well worth it. The car is finally coming together, but good things come with time...well worth it imo.

driving with a camber like that, how many miles do you get for the rear tires before you have to replace them with new ones? just wondering

lol.. the rear tires are just along for the ride bro, they actually last more than a year. Since this is a FWD car the front wheels were of more concern to accomplish a better camber degree but having great alignment is what counts. If you had a little experience, and did a little research on camber, camber kits, and alignments you might get a clue.

kickin old scoo, SWUG



but yea the Cee Cee Dub look dope, 18" if im not mistaken? the reason why people might not like the CCW is because the classics are step lip ONLY, which means the face is 17" which makes the wheel look smaller.

edit: hmmm that looks like it might be even a 16" face

needs more camber in the front, less camber in the back (just a little) and it would be on point. Love that color with those wheels all polished up. Looks amazing.

yeah, thanks all! I just actually threw on the suspension and the wheels yesterday, and was all fired up, so i snapped those pictures. I still have to set the camber right, and get an alignment this week, but everything turned out awesome, and it cruises soooo good for being so low. No rubbage at all. All i got as far as suspension is the K-sport RR suspension, and skunk2 camber kit in the front, and SPC kit in the back. Both from heeltoe(thanks marcus!), and yeah CCW classics ftw! 18x10.5 all around, with a little stretch of the 225/40's .. I'll keep it posted. Thanks again everybody.

Crooked wheels and stretched tires are definetaly not my thing, but I do dig the KBP Type S (since I used to have one :-)

Plus I would recommend getting 35% tint all around. Its perfectly legal in IL as well.

Crazy stretch on the tires...don't know if want. Update when you get the camber adjusted, looks promising!

35% will be 'legal' in IL.

he probably doesn't have offsets. CCW likes to keep it secret.

Man, I envy people who don't have to deal with speed bumps everyday and have access to a facility that caters to lowered cars for alignment. Love the KBP though. Is that taupe interior? If so, does it attract dirt easily? I'm thinking about KBP with taupe/ebony, but that color scares me with it being dirty easily.
