Well I have finally gotten around to posting some photos that I promised after I installed the motons. I want to give a BIG!! Thanks to Tom Nader for the mounts and the fill system he designed. His products are first rate and his service was great!! I got the install done over a couple weekends and it was technicaly very easy yet time consuming. Toms mounts are great becuase its very easy to remove the cannisters to do a PSI check when you want. I had the car alligned and corner weighted afterwards. This has changed the cars ride and handling ten fold. I dont feel like my brain is stuffed in a paint shaker when taking long trips and when you hammer the throttle it just digs in so much better but that could be a combo of motons and quaife. Anyway, I didn't drop the car to its fullest extent due to many of the reccomendations from members and mark Jorgenson. I couldn't be happier! Sorry the Photos are so freaking HUGE!

Looks great!!! Some sit too low for my taste but yours looks mighty fine! Mine is in Mark's hands right now getting Motons and Eibachs. What height are you front/rear?

Shandon your car looks awesome. Congrats. I am glad you like the brackets and the pressure adjustment kit. Thanks for the kind words and pics.

I am running the polished brackets also but recently sold some black ones which I am sure would look cool also.

Your car has a perfect stance! Btw, how do you like your Iforged Revs? I bought some Vince had in stock just like yours but with textured/matte blk centers. Vince had only 19.10/20.13 so I went with that size and should get them Monday per ups track. Based on what I have read here I went with ps2 275/30/19ft-335/30/20rear. I may not do coilovers till much later this year and I wanted as tall a rear tire to fill out the rear well. Many wheel dealers did not have great things to say about past Iforged dealings and a search through other forums were alot of negative and some positive feedback. Vince was geat to deal with however and the price on the wheels and them being ready to ship was to sweet to pass up.

I will try and get a measurment off the front and back jacking points for you. If Mark has it he will do you right. I got some great info from him on setting mine up and giving some recommendations to the alignment shop too. You will LOVE the new feel of your ride and I would HIGHLY recommend you get Toms Fill station for them.

I love my Rev Iforged! I use my OEMs for the track with slicks but these for show and street. Mine are 18/19 wraped with ps2's. Don't expect them to weigh less than OEM though. We weighed mine and best I saved was 1lb per rim. The rubber and stoptechs droped some serious weight on the corners though. When I researched all the wheels out there, I found as many bad things about HRE as I did Iforged and since i liked REV's I just went for it. I bought mine through Speedwerkz "Matt" was great and I spoke to Vince also. I had no issue with the company and the wheels have nearly 10K miles on them since I bought them!

Shandon-Thanks for your feedback. With regards to the weight of wheels, I guess we can't have it all. In my case the iforged for a tad over 3k to the door where hre which I have put on 2 cars last year for more like $5,500 for the set. I will keep my stockers and put some Nitto's on for when I take her to the track. Car looks great. Enjoy!

looks great, but I would lower it more.

Well its hard to have it both ways. Slammed look and drivability. If I drive like a granny I could lower it more but Im a "get the freak out a my way" driver. Even where it's at if I take a good bump at high speed I have had it rub for a sec. I think any lower and im going to polish my wheel wells with ps2 wax:D.

Any lower and you would be asking for trouble. Shandon that is the perfect compromise.

The car is looking good you have great taste:2tu: hahah excellent choice in mods..

I have to correct you though...any lower and you wont be "polishing" the wheel wheels.....you'll be "ventilating" the wheel wells

:eek::dropdev::eyecrazy: OMG Thats just wrong. I am glad I took everyones advice on lowering only so much after seeing that. Those wheel well plastics arent cheap either.




The car looks great Shandon, good work :2tu:
Thanks man! I need to head south to cruise with you some time. We get one of these wierd 50+ days and sunny give me a shout we can do some cruising around town etc.:2tu:

I am in the process of a total repaint and upon inspection of the rear splash shields, they have the same look as those above. Of course it didn't help when I went with 20's in the rear, either. Gonna have to do a small repair on the shields and raise it up a bit to accommodate the taller tires.

the holes don't bother me You can see the liners unless you put your face to the wheel gap....if they get to be real bad I will rivet some thin sheet metal to the liners, problem solved.

Could you just cut the top of the liner out and leave the sides that you see. Only problem would is in the rain but who drives in the rain that much anyway?

Sits perfectly to me. I drove my Viper in the rain today - DD (Chrys 300) was burglarized by having its front & rear driver side windows knocked out - waiting for a dry day to take it in for replacement.

Sorry to hear that! Not sure whats worse? Driving in the rain with the viper or having you windows knocked out. Probably having to do the first because of the later... Uhgg Dang punks!
