^^^ looks good Chad D! I think it needs a little spacers though. Not too crazy just a little more push out.

^^ you should run more tire. 245? Go with a 265. You should clear 10.5 with rolled fenders. Unless you wanna stretch tires and add more neg camber, so you could be lower and tucked.

Oh your gonna need to shave your bumper tabs

what wheels? I think you'll be happier with how the x11's will look. I know your taste.

Welcome and good luck, also stretched tires give a pretty shitty ride.

i had 9.5 with 225 then i switched to 265 and it feels like im on a cloud :D

Shitty coilovers give a shitty ride. I have 225/35 on my 18x11 in front and I still think my car drives relatively smooth compared to other slammed cars and 8's I've been in.
Most people who ride in my car are pleasantly surprised lol.

Stretched tires do affect ride quality. Also just cause my coilovers can't be adjusted any lower doesn't mean there shitty, Yes I can agree that there entry level coilovers but at least i got rid most of the body roll and my car is fuctional and I actually put them to use, then just being low.

I never said it doesn't affect ride quality. But to me, not even noticeably. My car doesn't ride any more harsh than it did when I was on a squared setup.
My R6 doesn't have stretched tires, very functional indeed.
And for the love of God, please learn to use the correct form of there, their, and they're.

I personally like a little bit harder ride. I may be wrong but, the harder ride feels more responsive.. I'm running the powertrix coils (9k/6k). They ride REALLY good, from what I'm told, better than the stance gr+

with my 11kg/14kg springs and dampeners set on the hard setting my car rides like a shopping cart. I'm not sure about stretched tires though. I also prefer a hard ride. When I look at pictures of my car at the track a peak apex I can see the tires doing their job and holding on to the road, always wondered what stretched tires look like on a hard corner, pictures of such setups are usually hard parked.
I'm not hating, I've just never had stretched tires. They sure do look nice on a slammed setup though.

I think the reason that danm ride is smooth is because he has very wide tires/wheels which allow for a more stable ride, a wider stance usually gives you more stability esp when going straight even during cornering of course with stretched tires and higher speeds things will start to change.
