no not yet man, everything been put on hold. ive been pretty busy lately. will be ordering more air part next week. so far im just planning on completely shaving the rear quarter panels and adding maybe 2-3 more degrees of camber in the rear and hoping to god that it can tuck. i really dont want to run more than -10 in the rear

havent done much with my car,but currently helping a buddy out with a bumper that got screwed up from a hit and run, no where in the professional area but hey its practice


this repair so far is hard because of the many pieces, and the missing pieces



i used plastic weld expoxy to glue the pieces together and from there i started to glass the back of the bumper





started to sand but its hard to tell whats level when theres so many layers and colors



quick coat of paint



nasty bondo



and more sanding, and lots more to go

without camber rcas but i will be getting some very soon, current specs at 19x9.5 +9 with a 225/35/19



just got tires for the vstx's but i might have to use different valve stems or weld and redrill a different hole because vr drilled them too large. more updates soon when i get the leak taken care of

yeah it definitely is.

too aggressive i couldnt even get the wheel onto the hub, but it does looks like i have alot of camber haha


no real pics of anything yet because the wheels arent fitting but once i throw on the rcas and the rucas it should be good to go

Step lippdid! Wheel/tire fitment is a love/hate process of elimination at times. Gotta love it though! Can't wait to see it all dialed in! Best of luck in your endeavors. Nice work thus far and NICE choice switching your wheel game up

my friends went to japan for a couple a weeks and one of their stops was 326power...so thats mean i had to get my hands on their nrca. my buddies also got me some candies and goodies. the candy from japan is just amazing i might add

here it is! these are alot heavier than the studio rcas. but since these were picked up in jpn they were also cheaper. extremely high quality and the caster correction really helped with the steering issue i had with the studios. steering feels stock, i actaully cant tell that theres additional camber.

RoyalOrigin x BossCompany 2003 GS300-nybampe.jpg

this is at robros custom/jdm chemicals in carson. they let me use some shop space since i couldnt work at home that day. but here is the front shot with the 326power rcas installed. the front has some clearance issues, and the fender is sitting on the tires. still have to figure out this one

RoyalOrigin x BossCompany 2003 GS300-otblk8w.jpg

here is the tcsportline rear upper control arm installed, i also raised the rear end about half an inch because there was such a big increase on camber. install was pretty straight foward hardest part was getting the bolts on the back in.

i swapped out my fig toe arms for discountinued battle version arms because the joints were worn and needed replacing and these are a lot beefier.

RoyalOrigin x BossCompany 2003 GS300-cejabv4.jpg

noticeable neg. camber, threw on a bolt on 15mm sapcer to see what the front wheel would look like. (note the rear is still 10mm more agressive than the fronts with a 15mm spacer)

RoyalOrigin x BossCompany 2003 GS300-09ledsc.jpg

here is what a 19x9.5 -6 (including spacer) looks like on the rear currently. the 19x10.5j -3 still doesnt fit. i still need to shave the quarter panel so that it is completely flat. worst case scenario is that i add in more neg. camber.

another shot from the front towards the rear.
