The problem is even with my extremely narrow tires they are still flush and almost sticking out of the wheel well :/ when i get back home im looking into getting a bit more negative camber back there so that it wont look so weird when i do go wider.

Good call Sir. Looks good.
Those cars need to be dropped, no IFs about it!

Just thought I'd chime in with my own "Lowered, FINALLY!" comment. Just had Eibach Pro Street S coilovers installed along with Hotchkis sway bars and adjustable panhard bar. Goes great with my Edelbrock E-force supercharger and Magnaflow Magnapacks.



Camera phone cropped the edges off this one, whoops...

Chef, car's looking really good. well played. i know you guys have already moved on but the electronic steering my '11 is so tight; i love it. I dont know how much the brembo pack calibration changes the steering from stock but i have very little bad things to say about it.

Hamhole, that thing is low! maybe even too low for me... nice set up nonetheless.

i enjoyed the electronic steering in the '11 when i test drove it, but it's still not quite at the point where it is perfect.

Problem is the offset on the RTR's is so aggressive that wider tires will stick out resulting in a rather tacky look. I think 275's might be the limit. Love the wheels BTW.

Showoff!!

How is the Edelbrock?? It looks great lowered!

I'm thinking of lowering mine but don't want to destroy the ride; IMO the stock suspension w/ the 19" wheels on the 2010 is plenty communicative of the road (although the shocks could have more dampening for my taste along with less body roll and nose lift/dive)...but what do I know; I think the steering is just fine too.
