Unfortunately there's a very slight scrap over the larger speed humps, none if angled however.

Your VF looks sensational Jay! Congrats mate. What sort of rims are those and what is the width of the rear rim and the offset?

Thanks guys.. The rims are called Lesanti LA8

Rears are 10" offset is +35 the rear guards did need a little bit of work.

you Definitely need a guard roll even then you rims would be very close to flush with -0.5 camber (max factory adjustment on super low)

how highs SSSL 355mm rear and 375mm front? (thats mine VE SSSL on King by memory)

Hey Ducker, not exactly sure, I initially asked for a 35mm drop, roughly ended up being 30mm.
However I definitely wouldn't go any lower as this is my work vehicle.

Jay,

It looks Grrreat!!!! Sorry to talk about the white elephant in the room, but I'm interested in how it's affected the ride quality and handling? Watch those driveway laybacks!

Awesome looking Redline!

Cheers,

Hey Cuda, tbh I haven't had the chance to 'test' the car out with these new rims.. I'm keen for an amateur track day.
However while it was lowered on the standard Redline rims it absolutely loved mountain roads!

If your on Ultra lows (SSSL) well that the lowest spring for these cars anyway. Just curious if the VF and VE are different at all in the spring n struts and if VF ultras were the same spring as VE ultras. The ride height looks the same :)

great looking VF
