Ordered Heliums, Azenis, and Tein Basic
#23
I'm a 16s fan too, simply because I can give up that last 10th of performance for something that looks better. That said, when my '01 arrives, I might have to spring for the 6ULs so I can put some 225s on 'em. 8 wides are nice. What retard at Mazda decided to go with a 16X6.5 stock wheel on the 01+ 6.5? They could have at least done a 16X7.

Frank,
If you go with something wider, let me know what you do with your stockers. I think they'd look good on my 91.

After getting the parts and taking the time to install and set everything up, I am done. Iced the cake with an alignment today and it is a rockin setup. The basics perform as well as people have made them out to be and are absolutely comfortable on even fairly bumpy roads here in town and when it comes time to make a quick corner at 40 or 50 mph, it is more than up to the task. Further, it looks really awesome with the bronze heliums against the red paint. I also may consider NB or Fatcat upper shock mounts in the future if hitting the bumpstops becomes an issue.
My alignment:
-1.25* camber front
-1.75* camber rear
1/16 toe out front
1/16 toe in rear
4.5* caster
12.75" hub to fender height in front
13.25" hub to fender height in rear
Ill post some pictures tomorrow Next up on my plate is swapping the brakes and rear end from my 97 onto my 90, reinstalling the Begi turbo kit, and making another stab at megasquirt.
