For thoroughness, we should all be including:

Wheel Specs: (Size, offset, brand, model)
Tire Specs: (Size, brand, model)
Alignment: (Example (F) -2.5* camber, zero toe, 6.5* caster; (R) whatever the stock axle is, probably zero camber and zero toe. If somebody knows that would be a huge help. If not, then I'll find out when I get my car running and out to the alignment shop)
Ride Height: (Most folks use an approximate level of lowering from stock, but this is inaccurate, as "stock" could mean any number of things, and virtaully zero aftermarket spring companies are actually honest with the amount that they lower the car. I prefer the Miata standard of distance from the center of the hub to the top of the fender lip, and suggest that we adopt it)
Suspension and Brake Mods: (Any** mods applicable to wheel or tire clearance [inboard or outboard], brake clearance, alignment or track width need to be listed. If you have swapped to AWD, bent your rear axle, redrilled your shock towers to run DSM coilovers, put your CSM body on a Jeep frame, etc you should include this information. If in doubt, mention it.



In my case this would look like:

Wheel Specs: 15x6 +46 O.Z. Chrono (Evo 3's)
Tire Specs: 205/50-15 Kumho V700
Alignment: (F) 2.5* Camber, 0* Toe, 6.5* Caster; (R) Stock
Ride Height: (F) 13.5"; (R) 13.5" (center of hub to top of fender lip, approximate)
Suspension and Brake Mods: Fenders rolled flat front and rear, GVR-4 uprights/ brakes, KYB AGXs w/ trimmed spring seats, Ebay coilover sleeves, and soon bump steer spacers, Elantra lower control arms, DSM axles, possibly ball joint spacers.






We should also be including as many applicable pictures as possible. At least the pics that Tonus posted, plus the pic he posted in his build thread showing inner clearance would be super helpful, too. (I hope you don't mind me using these as an example, Tonus)

I would post mine, but it really doesn't look like a CSM so much as a pile of parts in the shop floor right now.



To make this even easier, here's a form to copy/ paste

Wheel Specs:
Tire Specs:
Alignment: (F) * Camber, * Toe, * Caster; (R) * Camber, * Toe
Ride Height: (F) "; (R) "
Suspension and Brake Mods:
