My old 4WD - Have A Look

-2004-


How high is it?
How stock does it look?

-2005-


How ugly is chrome?
What was I thinking?

-Now-


How did something so ugly turn out sexy?
And now what?

First pics are with stock springs fitted. The 17" wheels had a rolling diameter of 626mm. 30mm bigger than standard. So the car was 15mm higher than stock and was missing 15mm from the wheel arch gap.

2nd pics has 35mm lowered King springs with my current 18" wheels with a diameter of 607mm, (11mm bigger diameter.) Only removed 1/2 the arch gap that was present before.

Currently have the car lowered 60mm on D2 coilovers with the 18" rims fitted.

I sometimes use Mazdaspeed MS-01Rs rims on the front. They have a smaller rolling diameter of only 587mm. So the car drops 4.5mm at the front when using those.
