Any coilover with camber plates, and you'll need rear upper control arms and toe for the rear.

you'll need a lot more suspenstion modifications than just coilovers and arms. you would need to have some custom fab work done. and it would drive like crap. getting wheels that are closer to fitting, lowering it, a tad of camber, and doing fender mods would be a better route imo...

coilovers would be a start. buy some. im all for new/different things. if you had gnarly camber like that it would be pretty sweet, as long as its low and the wheels fit good. to get camber like that it is going to be a lot of custom stuff and fender work. more than just adjustable control arms and a fender roll. do it and prove us all wrong....just hurry up

i'm with slippery.
heavy wheels with that type of offset takes away from the zippyness of the car. the steering wont be nearly as crisp, not to mention the weight of those is probably double the stock wheels --------------------  |

Apparently weigh about 10 lbs each (without the tire). Still waiting for them to finish making "it" EDIT: THe Diamond Racing Wheels weight about 22 lbs each (without the tire)... . EDIT 2: "It's" only a matter of time 'til the Weld Import Drags "come in" |

right, even with light ass wheels, a track width that wide is going to kill steering response. this, if you ask me, is the whole purpose of a car this light and agile.

I'd go back to stock wheels, if I was you.
No way your going to get those Diamond Racings to look good in that size. You would need so much suspension work, and body work also to get those to fit. I bet those make it feel terrible to drive too, compared to stock. Robbie - It's hellaflush, who cares about anything like handling?

I'm confused are you trying to get performance action or just for looks?

I never said anything about performance. As well as getting the Weld Import Drags. They will be much lighter on my car so they will make my MPG higher (at least)
EDIT: and look "nicer" than the Diamond Racing Wheels |
