Looks good!
What springs are you getting? The H&R sport springs? I'll be curious to see just how much camber you have to put on the rear to keep them from rubbing.
If you stand a straight edge (level, etc) across the rear wheel how much space do you have between the straight edge and the outer edge of the fender well? I'm guessing 1/2"?
I'm curious because I'm 1/4" out and if you clear then I could get my rears (9.5 +40) to clear with no problem. I ordered another set of rear RIMS (9.5 +48) that will be flush but I may end up having to put a spacer on them if they come in too much once when it's dropped.
You going to get the OEM style rear spoiler?

Hmmm... Your 3mm shave will = 0.12 inchs. If you're 1/2" out (12.7mm) and can clear with a 3mm shave then as long as I'm under (12.7mm - 3mm) or approx. 9.7mm then I should clear. My 40+ are exactly 1/4" out (6.5mm). 9.7mm -6.5mm = 3.2mm clearance!
So I might actually be able to run my 40+ on the rear... Only question is, how much camber were you planning on running in addition to the 3mm shave

Wheels are amazing, they really make it look so much nicer.

Sevas really did a nice job on these wheels. and when its moving it looks even better!
tuck in and drop or just drop?

Marcel - Why are you so up on Automotive Mods? It looks like they sold you a set of rims that don't fit properly. Also, what's up w/ this shaving the hub of the rim to get it to fit properly? They should be ordering you a set of new rear rims that have the proper offset and width so that there is no need for modifications to the rim itself.
Railgunner - Have you had ANY rubbing issues thus far? If not, that means the rear tires are tucking into the rear wheel wells when you are driving w/ rear seat passengers and/or going over large bumps. Thus, lowering the car a modest 1-1.5" should definitely allow the tires to tuck into the rear wheel wells.
