To get a legal offset I got a set of 12mm spacers. So the front track was 1/4 inch wider than stock and the rear track was 1/4 inch narrower. I ran 285/30/18 fronts with 295/30/19 rears. Both Hoosier A6 compound.

Bryan (Nocones) and I each had a set of custom Konis built for the car. You can check with Lee Grimes at Koni as he should still have the valving specs on file. I ran the H&R front sway bar mounted in custom delrin bushings as well. I think with the front camber bolts I managed to get about -1.8 camber in front and I ran a slight bit of toe out in front and a slight bit of toe out in the rear.

Hope that helps. BTW this setup helped me trophy at both SCCA Prosolo's I attended in 2008 and I won the DC Prosolo in 2007 with the car as well. It worked really well for D Stock.
Wedge,

I have everything but the Koni's on my car and I can't say enough how siginicant of advantage this is. I was already doing well in a local club running D Stock and was a little hesitant on putting this on my car. That is until the first event. It is hard to describe how well this car now turns and brakes. Their are cars with more HP but my 2005 Limited handles the rest well. Key to the Keith's setup is the huge front tire. When I mount them(spacer needed) I still can't beleive they fit.

Send me an email if you need anything.

I can't wait for the season to start.
