M35 Aftermarket Suspension

[SinStag]

I'm not sure which way I'm leaning at present, I have loaded up the car with some heavy items quite a few times so it needs to stay functional.. but the look of it squatted tempts me badly! I also love being able to drive over things without fearing the usually scrapage that I get with the Supra, but I want it to have less understeer than at present. I'll wait and see how the Whiteline sway bars go that I just ordered from Daleo

mines low as all hell and it doesnt scrape anything anymore.. just make sure you get good clearence with the exhaust and you'll be ok

How low is yours? Is it lower then mine?

Mines too f**king low...need to raise the rear up...

[Sunkist]

i dont know exactly.. wheels definitely tuck under the guards

[zei20l]

dude, its an ARX and the guards are lower AND you have a larger rolling diameter wheel.

cant compare RS/RX and ARX like that. your car may LOOK lower, but isnt

take craigs car and mine for example. mine IS lower, but his LOOKS lower

Get a room you two!

[zei20l]

what if its already happened?

anyway, i need to drop the rear a little. maybe raise the front. but dont think so. my new exhaust wont hang as low as the stock one. mostly due to its lack of mufflers

[SinStag]

this is what the AXIS looks like now.. big wheels but they look tiny being up so high. would love to take an inch out of it but almost seems like more hassle than its worth. Your cars are dumped!! I couldnt go close to that

[bigkevracer]

What size are they? They're the smallest wheels I've ever seen on an AXIS?!

lol you need larger tyres.

17", go for a 55 tyre

18", go for a 45 tyre

19", go for a 35 tyre

x2,,,that back wheel pic - OMG....

[SinStag]

these are actually 20".. but yes I def need larger tyres! I'm not too happy about the offset on these either... need some new 19" forgies yummmmmmmm.

my original aim with these wheels was to complement the car so they didnt stand out too much.. i guess it worked! lol

[ironpaw]

dude they stand out alright...no necesarrily in a good way though!

Like iamhe77 said - get bigger wheels...I can't believe thoese are 20's!

[SinStag]

doesnt look so bad from this angle.. but from here you can see my issues with offset

[Dunc]

Like iamhe77 said - get bigger wheels...I can't believe thoese are 20's!

^^ Yep! They look like 18"s

[SinStag]

but with some height taken out the rims increase in size.. but it becomes less practical the lower you go!

My love of this car grows everyday so it might get to a stage where a new set of rims with suspension is in order.. and some new brakes!

or just put some 30's on your existing wheels.

They will be a smaller rolling diameter than the standard RS/RX/Axis rolling diameter, but better 12mm smaller rolling diameter than 12mm larger if you put 35's on there (might scrub)
