Modded AWD? pix?

**xuor** · 03-17-2008, 05:43 PM

Hi,

I'm about to buy an awd mag. The awd option is needed around here in Quebec city with the average of one snow storm each week. But I got the impression that's it's kinda difficult to mod an awd? Didn't found any nice 22'' over tirerack. Please prove wrong with some pictures of your modded awd. Please, if possible, provide the name and brand of your ''drop'' setup and wheels.

Can you run a staggered setup on an AWD? or this can break the transfercase?

thx!!

Check out the vendors at this forum for the rims most of them have pretty good deals. I think most people are running 20". It would be possible to run stagered in width, but you would have to find tires that are exactly the same diameter. If you are 1/10 of an inch off in diameter the tire will be off by 3 revolution in a mile. in other words In your front tires are 0.1" smaller in diameter then the rear tires, the front tires will turn three more times then the rear in 1 mile, drive 10 mile that will be 30 extra revs.

Here's pics of my old AWD dropped on KW V2s. The wheels were Boyd Coddington JYDs 20x8.5 wrapped in Nitto 420s 255/45. I sold the wheels to a member here after I traded it in.

Difficult modding an AWD???
News to me.

You didn't here that on this forum I hope.

There's alot of modded AWD's here.

I've been able to put any mod I've wanted to on mine so far. It hasn't limited me at all. My wallet has though.

22"s...........not good choice if you plan on running those tires in the snow.
Most tires you find in that size will not be constructed of a decent compound to get you around in the white stuff. Run the stockers in the winter and the 20, 22's in the summer.

Here's mine with the 20's.

Whelin should post pics of his car. His AWD is wicked sick.

Cheers,

Thanks Tom

Spring will see her sporting a new Tommyz hood, Mopower grille and full spoiler and KW V2's.

This is before I painted my calipers and added drilled / slotted rotors but it is one of the best pics I have.

Lowered with KW V2 Coilovers, 20" Concept Neeper wheels, 255/45/20 Nitto 420s Tires.

Check out this thread for a few more recent mods... Though still dont show all the new stuff including the new rotors, Guess I need to wash the car and make a new picture thread...

A shaved A$$, New Fogs, center console cooler and other new mods

I will say that modding the AWD is a bit more difficult, maybe a bit pricier.. Can't use Long tube headers, lowering options and wheels are limited (though much LESS now than when I did mine). Nobody makes any aftermarket sway bars for them, etc... BUT, in the end, I still love my AWD, and am very happy with the decision to buy it!

I agree with that statement 100%!

Well after May Pedders might have sways that will work. The rears are the same (for the Charger anyway) and they are working on making a sway bar for the front.

Well don't tell the old wack I said this. But Darthvader has one sweet ride. I tried for a quick pic, but no luck.

That he does. Let's hope he doesn't find this thread. Otherwise, I'll have to claim that someone hacked my user account and wrote this!

HEY, thats GREAT NEWS! Yes, on the Maggie and 300 AWD, the rear sway is the same, just need a front bar made special!
