question for my G!

ok so the idiot who owned my car b4 me already fixed my car up a bit but didnt know how to drive it with rims... i juss bought it like 2 weeks ago. the rims are curbed on the lip. i been searching for places to fix the lip but theyre charging like $500+? anyone know anywhere cheaper? and also, anyone know anywhere that rolls fenders for cheaper than $50? and whats the best lowering kit i can get for the g? i love the car but im sooo unfamiliar with parts for it.. lol.

You should send a PM to Kris79 ,he would probably know a good place to get rims fix and fender roll and could probably suggest a lower kit. he has alot of expertise on lowering

those are both really cheap, good prices and there are plenty of kits, what exactly are you looking for and what is your spending budget?

lol. i didnt know that those were good prices. my cuhzin has a e36 and he had his work equips repaired from being cracked (3) and (1) of em were completely bent and out of place and had it all fixed for around 650. so i figured itd prolly b cheaper for just the lip. lowering wise i found adjustable on ebay for 800? u guys think thats fair? its 1-2.2 inches. roling fenders wise, my same cuhzins friend does em for 50 bucks and he does em with the machine so im guessing it should be professional. i have 20's and my cars not even lowered and it still rubs on bumps but for sum reason, only on the drivers side rear. my tires are stretched too?

just a warning, it could be at a professional shop or in your garage, there is still a chance that your paint can crack when you get your fenders rolled. as for the coilovers, what brand are they?

the rubbing, it could be that you either have the wrong offsets for your car or the wrong tires or both. i could be wrong though =)
