^You need coilovers that will allow you to adjust the dampening. At that ride height I don't think you should be scraping your exhaust on dips on the street, your driveway maybe depending on how steep it is.

Ya, when I originally bought the Basics, I only planned on lowering it a little bit to cover the wheel gap. Knowing what I know now, I would have went with coils that have adjustable dampening and can go low without all the hassle that I went through. Oh well, live and learn. I would look into other coils, but I'm planning on selling the car by the end of the year. So don't want to dump any more money into it.

Has anyone seen a stretched BFG KDW's? How does it look? I like these tires and would love to get them stretched on my next setup but I rarely seen these a far as aggressive fitment goes. I only see the common 255/275 setup. I'm looking to get one at 245/35 on a 10.5 rear...not sure about the front yet.

I don't have any personal experience with either, just know that they're the only two brand names that manufacturer the V2 style wheel spacer in a 10mm that I have seen. There are probably other manufacturers that make them in 10mm V2 out there somewhere.
H&R are good, i've had eiback, ichiba and h&r and the h&r are def the most heavy duty ones i've had. Have used them on my BBS for pretty much the entire time i've had them. I would prefer them over the other 2 i listed.

V2 you shouldn't need to check them, they bolt right on and i torque them to ~85. With V1 spacers, since you are changing the studs you gotta be carefull sometimes as some poeple wont get them all they way in. I't good to check them, IMO about 50 miles after(just re-torque down the wheels), then again at 500 miles. That usually does the trick as far as working out whatever was left. After that, again you shouldn't need to check them.
