Update: Turbo blanket
A new blanket is on the turbo. Gonna give this one a run for bait and see how she holds up.
Update: Wheels
When I got home and pulled the saran wrap off of the wheels, I noticed some gouges on one, just inside the lip. I then ran my fingers around the lip and noticed it was slightly bent in the area of the gouging.
I am currently waiting on an answer to see when I'm going to get my replacement wheel. This is a big letdown since I've been waiting 1.5 months for these wheels to get here. Hopefully soon because these babies wanna go for a spin.
i fitted up one wheel to check clearance and to determine what tire to go with. I put the full weight of the car on the wheel to check and the lip just pokes out by about 1/4". I figure once the suspension is settled, the rim lip will be flush with the fender. I am possibly going to need to add another -.5* to -.75* camber to the front if it doesn't settle anymore.
Rears will be fine as they are rolled and pulled and the camber is a bit more in the back due to the drop.
Update: Tires
245/35-18 will be where I'm headed and mostly likely Michelin Pilots. This will keep my width and give me a bit of room to play with the coilovers, if need be.
