Your offset looks worse than mine!
Are you using anything to increase the spring rate? I had to use two rubber donuts in the rear, one in front to keep the wheels away from hitting.

Finally got some pictures of my car. It is all stock, nothing fancy, nothing rusty.

Here's my 96 Metro. So far unmolested. I have some 16" rims I am putting on in the next week or so then starting on the engine. Gonna keep it simple. I already have cam for it. While changing that I am going to put a single underdrive pulley on it (currently has the double pulley) with a +10* cam gear. Then for the exhaust I am going to get a 3-1 header to 2" piping back to where the resonator is but it will be replaced with Cherry Bomb (part#87507) 2" in/out 22.5" long glasspack with a (part#87522) 2.5" in/out 12" long glasspack with the chrome tip (part#577589) for the muffler. Once all that is done I will replace the shocks and put in some lowering springs. Maybe swap out the stock seats for some nice GT ones if I find some nice ones locally. Nice and simple without overdoing it............. I think anyways.

Just added some 16" ADR Design Rims with 195/40/16 Toyo T1-R tires. Need 3 new tires but that will come soon enough. Trying to firgure out if i want the size on there at 2.801% too fast, 195/45/16 at .616% too slow! or 205/40/16 at 1.389% too fast. The 205/40/16 are the cheapest and most available but I am concerned about the rubbing on the back and the front at full lock (the 195's do not do either of those), the 195/45/16 is the closes to stock, but the 195/40/16's that are on there I only need to buy 3 as one tire is brand new.

Yes sir I certainly do! Gotta get my hands on some H&R's and some new KYB's or Monroe Sensi Trac shocks. I have a line on some used H&R's but the guy hasn't returned my last PM from 2 months ago. Have to get my exhaust done first though as the muffler has a big hole in it and I want to get those few engine bolt ons in.

Here is my 99 LSi with 83k miles. So far just replaced the air filter (stock), changed oil over to Mobil 1 synthetic and trans service with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.

Oops, did I post these in the wrong place b/c mine is a MK5, right? Sorry...

It's not the wrong place. People post their mk5's here too.

EDIT: BTW clean sedan, my bro-in-law just picked one up the other weekend.

Myrick, what rims are those on the 4 door in the 2nd pic including name brand and size; they look GOOD! I'm having trouble finding 13" rims...

I just finished putting H&R springs on my '95 Swift, along with Sensatrucks up front, and Gabriels in the back. The handling is still biased a bit toward understeer (I removed both sway bars, as well), but body roll is much better controlled. The ride, however, sucks. I can deal with it, but most people would probably hate it for a DD. The rear end, especially, crashes hard over frost heaves and pot holes. Overall, I am pleased, as it is a lot more fun on smooth roads, and it will be a lot more fun for weekend auto crosses.
