KDMZILLA's 5.0 build thread

Wheels look really nice. Good choice. You said earlier that the 6.5 inner barrel was pretty much maxing it out in the rear but here you say that the 7.5 inner was on back order. You end up changing sizes?

so happy to see more of these being modded!

Setup is going to look great! Are the coilovers ready to purchase from megan yet?

I ended up going 7.0inch rear barrels so thr total width is 10.5 in the rear. Been so damn long i cant even think anymore

Im guessing they are ready. I just need to switch out the front springs from 7 to 9lbs. Ill call them in the morning and find out

Know the feeling. Took a while to get my wheels as well but all worth it in the end.

So close yet so far....one more trip to Megan and I will finally have my wheels on. 6 months in the making. Patience is wearing thin

I got my car last May and started looking around almost immediately for upgrades only to find they really didnt exist yet. Even today there isnt much out there. After I found the wheels I wanted and put in the order (August) I contacted every company I could for coilovers and got a whole lot of nothing. Megan asked if I wanted to use my car as a test fitter since I was local. Needless to say they had my car for 2 1/2 months and when I finally did pick it up they were still waiting on the correct springs which is why I'm going back next week. Ive been driving on them a few months now and I am not 100% happy with them but I'll make the final judgement when I have the finished product. I was never into bags and I am too picky for just springs so I chose coilovers. Worst case scenario, as time goes on more and more companies will produce products for this car and I will jump ship if the Megans dont live up to my standards. Its been a journey to say the least.

Ceika makes great custom coilovers

Mind if I ask what size rubber are you going to go with? I want to do 10.5 out back as well!

Thanks for putting in the time and effort on this. Not sure about the quality of their product but it is nice to have the options available!

We did 3 fittings with Infinitewerks before getting the final measurements so the lip should match the fender. As soon as I get the car back from Megan Im going straight the tire shop. Ill let you know what specs they end up at and ofcourse post some pics
