Project V8 RX-7: Part 17 – Eimer Engineering Arms, Wheel Spacers and the Hunt for Perfect Stance

,

Our initial settings were 3 degrees of front negative camber, 7 degrees of caster with 1/8 inch toe out. Our rear camber was set at 1.5 degrees negative camber with 1/8″ of toe in.  After we test the car a bit, we may change this.

 

With everything together, our car has simply come out beautifully. Project RX-7 is probably the best looking car in our fleet, and it isn’t even done yet!

Our car isn’t a dumb stance car faking the funk with spacers or weird wheel offsets but functionally fits wide wheels and tires in the wheel wells. It will handle great and be fast around the track as well.

 

The fitment of our SSR SP-4 Wheels and Toyo 888R tires is cosmetically perfect with 100% function!

With our car ready to run, we still have the problem of it being too low to get in and out of our shop! That’s not even including making it down our driveway.  In the next edition of Project V8 RX-7, we will tackle this problem head on, solving it in a functional way that not only looks good but also works well!

After we do this, it will be time to head up to Las Vegas for Holley LS Fest West for our car’s trial by fire!

Stay tuned.
