I am able to fit a 5.5" lip with my bbk which is still bigger than almost everyone w/o a BBK. So you can easily have the best of both worlds. Having a bbk doesn't make a set up less aggressive. It makes you unable to run a slightly bigger lip, that is all.

In your opinion having a .5" bigger lip is more jaw dropping than having a ballin a$$ BBK shining through.

And IMO i think not having a bbk takes away from the JAW DROPPINGNESS of a setup!

opinions are great since everyone gets one of their own

dude haha thats where you and i are different, jaw dropping to you is 5.5 inch with bbk, nonthing against bbk but just not for me, im at 6in out back and can running bbk if wanted too but the aggressiveness of over 178mm lip pokin thats where its at, thats jaw dropping to me but opinion is just like @sshole everybody have one haha like it or leave. We can debate all day bout bbk this n that but i aint, i love all cars aggressive bbk or not as long as you stance right, with that said UNITED WE STANCE HAHA SECREST OUT!!!!! haha

then why didnt you stick with your 5" lip out back...I know you had them replaced because they cracked, but y not stick with the same size if .5" doesnt make that much of a difference. I liked the 11.5 set up better then the 12 ....JMHO..my set up coming in has 5.5 in rear with brembos neg offset ....does that count ...I also think if your gonna run stretched...at least run something with enough side wall to semi protect the wheel...I think you should have at least 265/35 JMHO...still like your G Shane

I went with .5 bigger cause I can easily fit it since I was only at -2.5 camber that's why. I'll be dong the same thing wth the fronts as well. But it's true you me nor anyone else can really tell the difference in .5". as for tire i was using the 265 already so I didn't change it I will always stick with 30 series cause again, IMO less tire looks better. I donno why this turned into a pissing contest lol so let's just end it there

Yeah, I definitely gotta check it out then. I stiffened up the preload a lil, but also raised it a lil more. It matches more with the front, but I think I need it a quarter inch lower. Looks pretty good, buy I don't really get any more wheel mating with the fender anymore.
