Ride update: VIOS 08

Still have a long way to go.. but getting there slowly I think :) posting this to share to other vios owners. Vios hard to flush with stance, front liner too shallow. Rear has not camber adjustment. Here are some thing I did to remedy that. Hope this would be useful to other Vios owners.

Added additional -1 degree camber using EZ Shim on rear wheels, so it comes out to about -1.5? (including the natural camber on the drop). Went back to my 5mm spacer, but damn, I felt like I was murdering my tires on the free way... I hate our roads here... I'll try to use a bigger Spring Cushion to lessen the shock play, maybe it would help. Rim to fender now at 5cm, used to be 6cm. Rear dampers at Full Stiff.

Front wheels now at -1 degree camber, also lowered an additional half inch. Rim to fender now at 6cm. Dampers at 5 clicks (1 soft - 8 hard)

Used a heat gun on the liner, it works like a charm!!! Liner rubbing.... GONE!, heated it up, took a wet rag and pushed it in. The water from the wet rag, hardened the plastic in seconds.

Here are some pix:


Smaller space now in between, much... still flush though no poke. Once I find 205 35 18, I can fix that fitment.


Had to saw off a portion of my front lip kit to clear the tires when turning. My finger can barely fit in between.


Now lower about half inch from before. Finally at 0 finger.


Camberlicious! loving the new camber on the rear.


Closer view of the side profile, front wheels still flush.


Thats it for now maybe until I find 205 35 18 for the front, I can lower it some more.
