Wheels, Tires, & Suspension Setup Pics Thread

[ABPDE5]

So... I don't have really that much experience as I haven't been driving it while trying to diagnose the rubbing. So take this feedback with a grain of salt.

But OH BOY. I REALLY like this setup so far. The steering feels fantastic, and the turn in is crazy. Another factor that's contributing to my frustration, is I don't want to drive it BUT I DO. If that makes sense.

On the rubbing note, I think I just had a revelation in chatting with some of the civicxi folks in the god spec thread over there. I am heavily suspicious of how the bump stops were cut during my springs install. I'll just be frank that I do not trust the shop that installed them. They've given me too many reasons to ignore at this point. I won't name names- but it would not surprise me in the least that the bump stops were not cut or reinstalled correctly and it's what led to this issue.

I'll attempt to confirm on Monday when I take it to my trusted shop to do some diagnosis. No sense in blasting them now if it turns out the install was sound. I don't know for sure yet.

But back on topic no, I'm not worried about scrub radius. I don't notice any more torque steer or negative effects, but the aggressive fitment fits my driving style very well and I can't wait to actually get it out somewhere I can exploit the shit out of it (without rubbing).

I imagine some of this is the tires... but this is awesome. Can't wait to get my setup mounted. Thank you!

It looks REALLY good. No rubbing?

None so far... but I haven't been over any aggressive speed bumps, etc. -- just shitty, post-winter New England backroads.

I knicked one of my wheels already trying to avoid a pothole

No! Is it bad? Like, mostly paint or is it deep? Sorry, man... it's dangerous out there right now.
