Start with some sway bars Chris when you get the funds. Sounds like Fabrikator has a nice fix too

In fact, I am. Probably not AS low (as I deem my car needs to function), but certainly as far as stance goes, aggressive.

19x10 +20, 245/35.

When my trunk isnt full of my work **** and is on level ground, the front tire sits just inside the front wheel well, as does the rear.

I believe its a combination of the suspension setup, how I pulled the front fenders, the fact I moved the corner light out (with said fender pulling) and mainly, sheer luck.

Lol at your comment.

Being that you drive your car so hard you prob arent slammed with aggressive fitment. Pics of your car and your wheel specs?

edit: seeing your pics and specs now. guess u are lucky. I pulled my front and and was at +9 on 9" on 225's and my lights popped out. guess i should have did the bracket mod.

forweareLegion you are just about as aggressive as me up front (1mm less) but you aren't as low. That and the reasons you stated in your post are probably why you haven't popped a side marker. Your setup looks good I would bring the front down a bit (but then it wouldn't be as functional, which is what you are looking for since you drive your car hard).

Yes probably why. I agree, I'd like to get the front down a bit, even the rear. But this is what suits how I drive, and the streets the car is driven on. It works I suppose. Honestly, given what the car was through over the summer its suprizing a fender liner/lights/everything around the wheels didnt grenade. Mountain roads will be the death of it sooner or later.

how hard would it be to fit a 19x9.5/19x10.5 +25 all around? Would run 225/40 and 255/35 respectively.

Those will fit, fronts will need a spacer. With a 255/35 and ~-3 degrees of camber out back you'll need about an 8mm fender pull.

^ or stretch a little more, roll flat and you'll be fine as well.

(say 245/35)

How low are you? A 225 or 235 is a nice stretch on a 9.5. With those tires sizes you'll need spacers front and rear. Would need to be tucking tire to run those tire sizes.
