Thread: summer set-up your thoughts

i have a black 02 spec with drilled and slotted rotors, eibach proline lowering springs and f&r swaybars. looking at some new summer rubber (so im in no great hurry) im thinking about focal F05 flat black 17 X 7.5 42mm offset rims and for tires maybe BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 235/40ZR17. So im looking for your thoughts good and bad on any or all aspects of this set-up: fit, rub, look, function, wet, dry, street, track day, daily driver, city, interstate, mountain blasting, launch, braking, and or anything else that you think of

I have that size running on mine. Stockers though. No problem with them. By the way I love the kdw's

stock height as well as stock wheels?

Eibach prokit or sportline? I run the same tire on Nismo rims (with spacers effectively +42 and +32 offset) with almost no rubbing. Rear fenders will have to be rolled if they haven't been already. KDW is good tire, they get kinda loud once they wear down, but probably one of the more grippier summer tires out there.

pro kit, are you stock height?

No, I lowered on tein basics. Not as lower as some, but low. I think the springs will be fine. I think I'm about 2" in front. I didn't roll fenders, but I also don't have spacers and are a 7" wide rim.

The kdw's are predictable. By far the best I've had. Wet weather and ice not so much.

This sounds like a solid set up. Only bad thing I've ever heard about the KWD's are how loud they get. But if they grip, meh, I wouldn't care at least. I would rock this
