M35 in the 305

[Platinum-VIP]

Edited for clarification...

And Chris: haven't gotten a ride in one... yeat. I've actually tried to lobby your kit to a Supra buddy of mine, so there is a chance. Or if you wanna pay for my flight there, could use a vacation

fly in, i'll pick you up from the airport

D. all of the above! get the least amount of rubber on those things first!

To adjust the camber, will I need to get one of those rear adjustable camber kits or just take it in to an alignment shop?

Welcome to the site.

You should have to "adjust" for any negative camber. Your rears dont look close at all to the fenders. Besides the car will natually camber in the rear when you lower it more.

I was running -3.5 degress at my ride height and I never adjusted for more negative camber and my wheels were way closer to the fender.

I personally think 22s look pretty good on Ms just not what I'd go with if I was trying to go the VIP route. You're definitely not going to be able to ride as low (well unless u do some type of body work front and rear), and you definitely are limited by tire sizes, and running stretched tires would be a little sketchy. But that's just my 2 cents. Looking forward to seeing the build. A friend of mine had a M45 on 22s. Very clean.

I appreciate your 2 cents Smitty. Your M is on of the best looking M's out there. I definitely like the set up and the modifications you did to your quarters. Since I'm new to the scene, I'm gathering my info from this forum (which has been extremely helpful). If there's one thing that I've learned from the VIP style lifestyle, is the uniqueness that all of you bring. You may all have the same platforms but all of your styles are unique. That's why I decided to outfit my M with the 22's. There's no way that I'm going to ruin the rep of the M by making it look like a 4x4 or what the 305 is known for a "donk". When I'm done with my M, she'll have class and most of all VIP style.

Ok, so I decided to lower my M with springs. I chose Eibachs. TheT gave me a 1.6" drop in the front and a 1" drop in the rear.

Here are a few pics with the M lowered on stocks.

Finally put them on.... 22x8.5 in the front and 22x10.5 in the rears...

[Smitty]

Wow. Looks pretty good homie. Very clean look. 22s def arent the norm but I think you pulled it off well.

Would be great if you could go a tad bit lower all around. I'm sure the springs may settle a little for you as you drive around.

Here's a pic of my friend's M45 on 22s. We put his on coils. May be something you may consider in the future. Your M and his M would look dope rollin down the street together. Keep up the good work homie.

[Marley263]

Thanks Smitty. I appreciate it. Your boy's M looks tight. Where's he at? I'm definitely going to take your advice and lower her some more.

[BAHC]

with a kit and a bit lower, 22s actually wont look out of place imo..good progress!

[Marley263]

BAHC, I was a little concerned about what some would think of 22's on a M. Im glad im able to pull it off .Thanks for the advice.
