Hi Guys,


yes somehting isnt quite right. the front coilovers are at the lowest possible Position and the shop wasnt able to get -1 " of camber out of my PSS10.
Instead they put about 1,3 cm of shims into the LCA. The LCA were attached into the offcenter hole.


As you can see on the pics, one side is completely in the other isnt.

Oh, nice haha. Is it done this way to skirt class rules in some way? Very cool. I was wondering how a 255 fit so well.

I got so pissed with adjustment trouble after switching to Tarett camber plates and not getting proper alignment. I finally switched to Elephant Racing camber plates - they provide about 3 times the play of OEM - I haven't had a problem since.

Can't wait to get these bad boys on the car

Going to pull the Hoosiers and swap the NT01s on before I install.... Finspeed wheels are the highest quality wheels I've ever held... Beautiful finish.. Incredibly light.

I recommend anyone in the market for wheels to check out Finspeed. These are F110s in 18x10 and 18x13 with all of the lightening options, the machine work is just phenomenal.
Look great they remind of the carbon Dymags
