I believe you messaged on YT about my V8 with sports muffler. I see that you used same VAP x-pipe & sports muffler as mine. I've been thinking about headers/cats & more interested with coil overs. I have 20 inch wheels & have VAP springs, I like the stance but I could use adjustable dampeners, I feel some yoyo effect/bouncing, If you don't mind please share more info about coil overs via PM.

Yes, and thanks for the recommendations! I love the full exhaust note with the S back box. Such a refined sound in person. The camera doesn't do it justice. Let me know what you want to know about and I can shoot you over a PM to discuss further!

Cheers

Thanks
A.P.

HI Drew.

Currently looking at wheels and Apex is in consideration. General questions is will all 5x114 aftermarket wheels fit with the larger M14 lugs we have? Not too concern about the hub size since aftermarket is larger and you can just get hub centric rings.
From what I gathered 9-10 in wide in the front with ET around +35 and rear 10-11 wide will work with +50 ET. Alot similar to aftermarket Mustang wheels set up.
any imput?

Hey Tony,

The 5x114 is just the bolt pattern so theoretically all 5x114 will fit our hubs even with the larger M14 lugs. The bigger concern I would have is if it will clear the larger brake calipers (6pot). I've run into issues with the clearance before and you need to use spacers to adjust.

My wheel setup is 19x10 and 19x11 et 40 and et52. Hope that helps.
