Proper footing, that stance—it’s all about perspective.
I had to get rid of that deeply sunken factory fitment, ‘cuz I am not into hella sunk wheels. Just blowing money on spacers falls in my personal senseless category. But, I have to trust the process lol…
The wheels I’d like for a daily aren’t currently made in a 19″, and since I’m in no rush to majorly mod this car, I figured some quality spacers would hold me down.
No direct correlation per-se, I am noting that at this momen break-away torque was 65 on some, 104 on others and less than 90 overall. This is scary, given the fact that they’re supposed to be initially torqued to 94ft lbs.
Here’s what I’ve noticed already: Steering feels slightly heavier. Turn-in feels a bit less responsive, but just as sharp. That could simply be an effect of the “heavier” steering feel.
Those small, jarring road bumps that wreaked havoc and had everyone scrambling for an alternative module now seem muted and tolerable.
What I did not like, two things:
First, the rock noises are back. It seems the REP megachumps aren’t wide enough to handle the task.
Second, there was this awkward little dance the car did over a dip. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’ll make a mental note of it for next time.
