Looks great. I drove my 92 today, these cars are a blast. Let us know how you do at the track.

Hi,

The car looks very good. Is it the coilovers or the new rims that reduced the gap between the top of the wheel and the fender? Also, do you have any issues with tire clearance; turn lock to lock, etc?

Thanks,

Ken

Finally 18's that look great on a ZR-1. Those front look BEAFY from the top/engine view.

Good stuff.

KGV-I assume the coilovers adjusted the ride height, rim selection would o nothing to wheelwell gap unless taller tires were added

Awesome and thanks for sharing. I love classic CCWs too and can't wait to get my coilovers on.

toyo ra-1s are one of my favorite tires and your car looks fantastic with the ccws

carter should be able to hook you up on center caps or know what would work

what spring rates did you go with? let me know how you like the ride and handling

like the zr-1 on the side too, very unique!

It's actually both. Car is a lot lower than stock using coilovers and the 18" rims/tires are almost a full inch more taller than the 17" A-molds with tires. No clearance issues except I can no longer turn wheel lock to lock. The front sway bar has to be relocated forward about an inch to clear coilovers and because of the 11" wide front rims I can only turn 3/4's each way. Not bad on the road but does make for 8 point turns in parking lots.

Spring rates are 425 front and 275 rear. Love the way the car handles and rides with the larger sway bars and coilovers. Car stays flat and is very responsive.
