[ZoomByU]

im not even sure of the exact model. i just got the control towers because i dont like how the ones that clamp down. go on almost any roof rack site and theyll have a guide for you just make sure you get control towers. my setup was fairly expensive though wince there werent any sales going on. thats all i have for pics at the moment. those were just spur of the moment. someone actually hit my pass front fender so im waiting to get that fixed before my buddy takes some legit pics.

[mizboo102]

They really don't weigh that much. Definitely less than stockers. But I picked up a some 18x10 TE37s WITH tires and almost threw them into my face, I thought they'd be heavy, but no. Could've seriously lifted them with one finger. Crazy light. Weight: TE37 < Grids < Stock (that's a given haha)

yea, stock wheels are heavy as balls.. gen2 stockers weigh in at 25+lbs.. im hoping to drop 30lbs of unsprung weight.. i dont think the grids will cover that.. they do look fucking mean though.. maybe some 17x9 grids would help with the weight reduction..

Jealous, want your tires. Nice setup. Any plans to lower it? I saw your original thread, but I forgot if you mentioned it in there

[ZoomByU]

what kind of tires?

[Roszko]

Yokohama Advan Neova AD08

[super_pablo_]

^^yes. 235-40-18

I only have cobb springs so far, so it is already 1" lower.
In the future I might consider coilovers, once my struts get messed up. For now, ill remain on just cobb springs.

as I stand, theres no rub, but im gonna do a minor fender roll in the rear to be safe.

edit: I do rub, a little, pics 2 posts below

[madvillain]

=0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Monotonous ONE]

theres a lot of sexy time on this page

[super_pablo_]

I stand corrected, there IS some rub.

I didnt rub at all the first 2 days, but yesterday I pushed it as hard as I could on an empty wide road and got VERY MINOR rub. I noticed it this morning
heres the pics



the other rear tire has even less. so Id say this setup is quite safe even without a roll, unless u wanna go to the track.
Im doing a little tuck this weekend, especially since i just saw the little rub

[Roszko]

I've been wondering how the AD08s would do with a stretch... I know they have a heavy shoulder so it might not work too well but still, I'd love that kind of grip on my car. So you have 235/40/18s on what, 8? 8.5? I'd need to fit at least (because of larger shoulder/dimensions) a 225/40/18 on my 9.5s. Maybe just go a little lower with 225/35.

You have the tire, you have first-hang knowledge, what do you think Pablo?

[super_pablo_]

I think the shoulder on these is definitely heavy, Im not sure how they would stretch on a wider rim. Im currently on 18x8.5 +45 offset wheels.
I do think these could be pulled off on a 9" rim EASILY since they arent stretch at all on my 8.5... not sure about the 9.5 though.
Ill take some better pics this weekend and post more closeup pics if that helps.

[tigermack]

You rub with that height/wheel gap?!

[super_pablo_]

pics are a bit deceiving... the car isnt really that high, ask any of the AZ guys. Its not slammed, but its decently lowered IMO.
it runs normal, like I said, i pushed it really hard (kinda did some slalom on an empty wide street and threw the car back and forth to see if i would rub cause im going to the track in two weeks and i dont wanna shatter the tires.
I barely rubbed, there isnt any scrapes on the tires, but theres some marks from the fender touching it.

to illustrate my point to rozsco, i took a few extra pics trying to show how much room I have with those tires to stretch to a 9" wide rim. Its up to u to decide if you can pull it off in a 9.5"

wow, that thing is proper.

[Roszko]

yeah that red MS3 is beautiful.

[Roszko]

I like the red one from S:N better, but these two are solid. Worth a gander. This red MS3 is overdone IMO, but the black MS6 is clean as funk.

Can't wait!

They're my favorite mod. Even if you don't slam it, still worth every penny.

[peez]

[JDM-P5]

Those Work VS-XX's on that MS3 are sex. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Its gonna look good on WWP.
