Agreed with Adam. I really don't understand the notion that they cannot go together.

The "spring rate" of the bags are more than stiff enough for performance driving, and can be dampened effectively.

If you mean camber and bags, well, my nitto INVO hook just fine at ride height. I'd say i have a ~245mm contact patch. My buddy in his 603whp DC5 runs 255s on a front wheel drive, so I think I will live with these on the rear.


Edit: for details on the blower kit, its all in my blower kit thread.

Uhm, isn't that close-up pic of your rear wheels showing the rotor rotating in the opposite direction that is should? Looks like you might have swapped the sides.

Other than that, PERFECT!

To be fair neither of you are going out every weekend and tracking the cars. The set-ups are perfect for daily driving and aggressive driving. If you were tracking cars you wouldn't be using this set-up

Assuming that you have those same rotors where the drillings are the opposite of that of the veins, then yep...definitely correct. Like the pic detailed, the drillings also threw me off.

If I were tracking the car, I absolutely wouldnt be running the same setup. Starting with not running a 3800lb open diff luxury sedan that just happens to have a decently stout v6.

I guess I should say that for OUR cars (the 2IS), bags and boost go perfectly well together.

That rear camber looks perfect. I want around that much with my new setup coming soon! Thanks for helping me out in my other thread.
