hahaha shane your right, and then you gotta ask yourself is it really worth it? this is a true story my girlfriend wanted to use my car to go somewhere and she wasnt sure if there were any bumps or dips so i drove there myself to make sure there wasnt and drove all the way back home just to make sure my car wouldnt get hurt.
I used to be a cyclist, before I sold my bike for some Works
LOL the irony, now is that i have to use hand slow down signals as I make left turns into driveways where my car is basically facing head on towards traffic and the guy behind me is trying to squeeze between traffic with me, without knowing that i have to angle my car 60+ degree to get up the driveway. lol
But yea, take off that plastic front liner spolier thing(not the tray), its gonna scrape and melt away like mine did. 19's those tire wall will have alot of flex so driveways with a short incline you might scrape your rear part of the sideskirts.

40-35 probably wont make a difference, its just a small percentage of steep driveways that you have to be careful going up, it wont crack the sideskirts, just scrape. But you're safe if you go slow.
the rear part of the skirts shows some signs of scrapping, its really minor, and hard to imagine

Levon, he talking about the liner in the fender wall, remember, i mentioned that to you the night we installed them haha, they're just held in by tabs. also 35 series tires would help, though your spedo will be off by a lil, maybe 5mph at 65, by 2-3 mph at lower speeds!!!
Nice drop, your car looks great.
Please make sure to update us on how the F&F coils are going for you in the future, I was going to buy these because they seem to be a good trade-off between quality and price, but it'd be good to have an actual opinion from somebody running them.

^I've had mine for a good 6 months, and LOVE em, they're great, ride just as smooth as they did 6 months ago. I'd say they're a lil soft for if you're tracking alot but good if you're just doin canyons here and there, still great coils imo, and i think you can get stiffer springs for them but im not 100% sure!!!
