Ark M35 (pic intensive)

[SumYungM35]

(leans in looks around) lol what up guys. Names Abe i'm from Ark. I'm 25 almost 26 and about to dive head first into marrage.. (wish me luck) lol I've been a member of Team Sun*Works from almost a year now. well anyways lets get to the goods. A friend of mine who's knows Da Mayor told me to post up so here we go. I have a 08 m35. Ive had her about 5-6 months and already made pretty good head way on the build. i love the VIP style and thats the build i'm going for.
it's dropped on BC custom build coils

with the first drop

i also have a few JP parts for that VIP feel.

the interior is a little different now. i wrapped all the pillers/headliner/door inserts

i have also have a custom puddle light install... i just kinda got bored of seeing the "same" puddle lights so i did mine a little different

here's a couple shots of my exhaust. just 4 tips i had welded on from axle back

and lastly here is the newest mod these were a suprise from my soon to be wife as a wedding gift. they aren't the most expensive wheels out there but they will for sure due for this season. looking to sell next year and go with some higher class wheel
Concept One RW10 20x10 +20 wrapped in Fed SS 595 245/35

if there is anything that you may want a walk thru on I.E. puddle lights/suede wrapping please feel free to ask. i love teaching AND learning from my mistakes and yours hehe :good:

what are the offset on the front wheels? your wife did a great job.

if your rear wheels rubs just add a little camber.

 

[SumYungM35]

20x10 +20 all 4 im maxed out on stock camber... Im guessing camber bolts would help without having a full camber kit

good to see that a 20x10" wheels with 20et doesn't stick out. I was thinking 38et.

looks like your riding too low on the coilovers, you must have nice smooth roads.

 

[SumYungM35]

Naw they are bad as is everywhere but my old car framed everywhere so this is cake as high as this lol i do have a question tho with camber bolts can i get more camber then stock allows? I know this maybe a noob question but i jave no experience in just camber bolts

because your drop is so low I would tell you to get the full camber kit for your car. now if your going with air suspension you won't need it, unless you still want camber at lowest drop.

when you have a chance take a look at your front sway bar and see how much room you have (not much), on top is your oil pan. scraping on the M is not a good thing.

 

[SumYungM35]

i still have about 3in or so and i've never scrapped from it being low (i have my suspension is extra stiff) other then my exhaust from about the mid of the car back lol my driveway into the garage is a killer but it's not a serious scrap. i'll just say i haven't need to replace my exhaust yet lol. i plan on doing air next year so i keep going back and forth on gettin a full camber kit

 

[Freddie's M45]

whats the measurement between ground & fender lip on your M?

 

[SumYungM35]

haven't looked but prolly if i had to guess... 4-5in maybe

 

[Freddie's M45]

ground to top of fender lip.

I'm just about 26.25" and still able to hit XXXmph

I have the car set up as the family stance (4 people).

 

[SumYungM35]

I just reread this lol im sitting 24.5 rear and 24 front with my coils set on 5 clicks shy of full stiff on all of them

[Freddie's M45]

that's really low but I just saw you have a M35 (just about 165lbs less) not M45. Have you driven the car with people in it or at really high speeds?


I have all 4-corners at the same # (26.25") so it gives me a very small rake, I don't like when the rear looks like it's sagging.


I have 27 clicks on front with 16 clicks on rear (when I have a chance I'll do 20 clicks on rear).

as she sits now:

245/35 & 285/30 20's (full size tires)

 

[SumYungM35]

i haven't hit 100 in it yet and prolly wont... and i only allow my and my lady in the car at a time lol... it rides smooth but a tiny wobble because i dont have hub rings yet (just haven't came in yet) i'm wrapped 245/35 so it has some stretch to the tire. toe @ 0.02ish on all 4 and camber @ 3.0ish on all 4. my problem now is that the top of my a arms is hitting so i'm either going to cut a hole for more room or raise it a tiny bit which i really dont want to do honestly

 

[Freddie's M45]

every blue moon I take her up around 140+ mph when I'm alone and the roads are clear. Just got to look out for big dips at those speeds.

I would tell you to try 25" on all 4 corners, car would be more drivable. It also looks good when you show some tire.

and from your pics you should get rid of the oem mid-pipe, it a joke.

 

[SumYungM35]

I will soon... Idk what one i should get and i dont want it to make the exhaust any louder ya know... I dont want to raise it bc the roads arent really bad here its just my garage lol so idk what ill do yet im undecided i think i talked to you on Vipstylecars.com about your fenders lol i just realized it
