Official FUNCTION & Form Picture Thread!! (No hellaflush allowed)

[truejee]

i've searched and haven't found a thread for this. tried the search here and google searched, so if a thread like this does exist please link me!

i'm more of a function & form kind of person, but all i've seen is either all function (too much wheel gap, not low enough) or all form (excessive camber, crazy stretched tires, too low to be functional). but mostly form. i love the whole form > function look but i love being functional and being able to have a blast in the twisties. i'm currently trying to figure out what sized wheels and what specs to get for my fa5. soo....

post pics of your form & function setup! (minimal camber. flush. very little to no wheel gap. FUNCTIONAL)

oh and if you could also post specs of the wheels (size, width, offset) along with what kind of wheels they are, and what suspension mods you have done. Thanks!

example: (i know it's an evo x and not an 8thgen, but i think its stance is perfect. low, very minimal camber, eliminates wheel gap, looks clean, and is functional)

This is when i was on Skunk2 Pro C coils..

Finger gap front and rear
S2 rear camber kit
Continental DWS 215/45/17
-1.5 camber F&R
Progress rear sway bar
Volk TE37 17x7.5 48 offset 15 pounds each



I am on the HFP suspension now..

My next set of wheels and suspension set up will be -

Enkei RFP1 17x9 + 35
Nitto NT05 235/40/17
KW coils over the summer and retire the HFP suspension

Here's mine

Suspension:
Buddy Club Race Spec Coilovers
Buddy Club Extended Ball Joints
Skunk2 Gold Camber Arms
Progress 22mm Rear Sway Bar

Corner balanced and aligned with me in the car.
Camber -2.85 front/ -2.55 rear

Wheels/Tires:

17x9 35mm offset Enkei RPF-1's
225/45/17 Dunlop Star Spec Z1

Front/Rear fenders have been rolled and have zero issues with rubbing.

[Will06SI]

That's a lot of negative up front but i like everything you've done for sure..

Are you seeing more excessive wear on the inner tire up front or you rotate often ?

[Evil_SI]

I've only had this setup for maybe a month. My toe is set pretty much to zero. So tire wear shouldn't be bad. My alignment/suspension is setup with handling in mind. I love to hit twisty back roads and plan to do some open track days this year with the car. This setup handles amazing from what I've experienced so far. I can't wait for it to warm up and see what it can really do.

I like them alot so far. They have been on the car for about a month. They ride and handle awesome. The spring rates are the same as +N but the fluid and dampning is alot more heavy duty.

^more!!!

Question for the setup I've got

koni yellows, tein s tech springs and front camber kit. My question is more for the shocks and what setting is best for a guy who uses his car as a DD but likes to hit the back roads with the sharp turns and up n downs in the roads. I know the dampening can be adjusted just don't know what's the best for me.

Being a skier in Colorado, I am nervous running any kind of lowered set up.. Is it worth getting some rims that would look nice for the summer?

[jesman1988]
