I love the first pic..And I must say the stock GT wheels with a nice drop looks tight.

 

[CaseyGT2001]

Thanks Silver.

I am believe that it's not the wheels that make the car, but the drop and the wheels in combination. As long as your wheels/tires fill the majority of the wheel well (lowered) and you don't have hub caps (or just steelies), just about any "wheel" will look good.

I really like that first picture too. it's one of my favorite race shots.

Casey has the best action shots hands down! I love the first picture and the one in the signature with VVVVVVVVRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
How do you like that sway bar, Casey? Big difference after 19mm Tibby bar or not really?

 

[CaseyGT2001]

Thanks Talgat, for the compliments...

as for the difference between the 2 bars.. well.......

I took off the racing suspension in November. And because I couldn't get the F'in endlinks off, I had to remove the sway too. (long story, don't ask). So, basically, all winter I drove on stock, squishy suspension and no rear sway. just a few weeks ago, I put the coilovers back in (without the new springs I ordered ::grumble grumble:: ) and put the new bar in. I did get to race, but it was on all seasons, and on wet pavement.

I haven't really done much "race" driving to determine how effective the bar is, nor do I have a really strong basis for comparison. During the race though, the car reacted well to my Left-foot braking. I had the rotation where I wanted it. I would have liked MORE though, but I think it also has to do with my crappy alignment (and those darn camber plates that give me NOTHING! ). We'll just have to see what happens when I get some camber bolts, and my sticky tires on.

im buyin his exhaust from him

 

[pancit]

when u had them, wat tires and how big drop wit those slipstreams? looks kinda jdm, kinda...

 

[Pumbaa]

What tyres are you using in those photo's, because you look awfully grippy. I can't wait till the Koni's get made so I can get a bit more performance out of my GT @ the autocrosses.

 

[CaseyGT2001]

pancit I had 205/50/16s with about 2.5 drop

Pumba with the Rotas, I had on either Kumho 712s or Azenis. with the stock wheels I was on Kumho HP4 all seasons
