I think youre going to be very happy you went this route instead of a gear swap. Peace of mind, and guaranteed results!

Yup! I relish the fact that I know how to properly setup a rear end now....but it isn't worth it The cost of tools, time, and frustration isn't worth a one (or two, or possibly three) time ordeal.

Nice job!!

Thanks Ryan, long time no talk where have you been?

Lookin good! Roads are still dry... bolt the stock LCAs in and take her for a test spin!

Lord knows I want to but the driveway is a sloppy muddy mess :/

Usually I'd say a gear change in a stalled auto is overrated. But those 2.73 are god awful. I think you'll be more than happy with the gains by going to a 3.42. It should spin from a 40 roll with street tires on it now.

Agreed. Loved the 2.73's on the highway, but I couldn't launch the car. Bog or sideways smoke show

Wouldn't of thought of it without you!

Ended up ordering poly poly non adjustable and a set of relocation brackets from Founders.

I think my next 2 purchases are going to be a front bumper support from MWC and a set of SFC's from them also.

Anyone know a hook up on a set of street 315/35/17's?

I love my founders suspension..I still have a driver side bolt in r.b. from them haha. They told me to keep it since they screwed my order up. Wish they sent me a pass side so I can have another set lol.

You should see if you can buy just one!! Then turn around and sell them.

I thought 315s wouldn't fit in the wheel well?

Crazy talk...
I have nittos (555r's) and they tend to run on the narrow side for 315s but I still have quite a bit of room
.

[Fox Slaughter]

Why do you need such a wide tire anyways?

Why don't you just get the ET Streets or something in a smaller size?

335s will fit with an offset LCA

[Fox Slaughter]

Jeez what is the need for such big tires?!?!?

Many reasons, for starters I have 17x11s in the rear, so anything under a 295 would look stretched and goofy.
Wider tire is more contact with surface which will increase traction. This is comparing to the same compound of tire that is just narrower. Plus it looks like sex.

I'm pretty sure they don't make an et street that would fit an 11" wheel. And I'm not about to drop some coin on new wheels unless they are a set of Racestars.

[Fox Slaughter]

Traction is lame. You'll get more girls just spinning the tires and creating lots of smoke.

[mcalus]

Racestars or weld rts's?

I like the race stars, they are around $700 new.
I can pick up some used rts's for $750, probably can get him down to $700.

What finish on the RT-S?

either way, I like the RT-S
