Apex ARC-8 or EC-7

GreekboyD · 04-14-2013, 12:28 PM

40 might be too tall in the rear depending on how wide your rims will be and how low the car is. I see more potential issues there than in the front.

What's the widest that you'd go in the rear?

With your LSD and our torque, I'd go with a beefier set-up in the rear by helping to get more of that power down better through increased grip. Then again a square set-up has other benefits too.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Will either be 9" wide with EC-7 or 8.5" wide with ARC-8.
