inch lower in the front, 30f/40r spacers

so yesterday myself, erklep, and frankieg35 were swapping around spacers and i decided to end up going 30f/40r...after the spacers, i decided to drop the front an inch lower so the body sat at the same height on all 4 tirewalls...

after looking at the pictures i think i may want to raise the fronts back up a 1/2"..then i'd be sitting at 1.75" lowered in the back, 2.25" lowered in the front...the fact that the kuruma sits so low as it is, has me scraping left and right (i don't mind it most places, but i sure wish i could pull into wawa again)

my main fear though is that whenever hitting an unavoidable nasty part of the road, my fenders are slowly getting destroyed, so maybe that 1/2" in the front can alleviate some of the problem

anyway, on to the pics!!

30mm front spacers/40mm rear spacers
rear fenders cut
on megan coils, front coils maxed out at 2.25", rears at 1.75"
23 front tophat to mount bolt


































and yes, i know, the matte black mesh isnt in yet!!!

the 30mm spacers in the rear are hubcentric. the 10mm slip-on one is not

and thanks!

i'm sure having 1 3/5" of added space can't be too smart, but i don't think its too much of a problem

the bottom of the grill looks a little off with the bumper. it just might be the angle of the camera. but everything looks nice!
