Oh snap I didn't see that he said he was adding spacers to the +0. -25 on a static Sedan, o rly??
Assuming you aren't getting professional body work done, you are gonna need a 225 on that 10.5 first of all. Then you are gonna have to pull the mess out of your fenders, good luck making that look clean (trust me a pull that large won't come out looking clean). Then you are going to need add a ton of negative camber, most likely double digit negatives. You also need to run custom high spring rates and re-valve your coilovers if you haven't already done so cause your wheels are going to be constantly hitting your fenders if you don't.
May I ask why so aggressive??

Im sorry that i can not at this time provide a picture of my sedan. and its for this reason! im in F*ing AFGHANISTAN. so when i am able to provide pictures i will. And so sorry that a Big BRAKE kit is so important for my daily driver!?!? sorry i am a underpaid SOLDIER! and can't afford all the things that some people can. i try to enjoy my car as much as possible with the money i got!
Stop playing the soldier card, it makes the rest of us veterans look terrible.

there's many other aspects that could change what he can afford under his salary and what you can under yours...he could easily have more bills(kids) than you, your comment makes no sense lol

There are many underpaid military families that still successfully balance their bills, ranging from taking care of their kids to a mortgage payment, and still able to maintain their hobbies and life style.

Blain, it ranges. I don't know what it is now, since I've been out for a little over a year, but I was getting paid around $2400 a month, give or take $200 or so. This is after taxes too. This is also the pay grade of E5.
So, do the math and you'll see how awful we get paid. However, I never had to worry about housing since I always had a place to stay, nor did I ever have to worry about paying for food, since I could eat at the DFAC if I wanted to.
I saved up some cash after deployments to be able to buy my car and everything that I have on it now, and I still have money left over. Deployments, if you played your cards right and didn't spend money on anything except for personal hygiene items (and even those could be free if you got care packages), then you could have saved up to around $30k or so when you got back. With deployments, there really isn't any need to spend any money since everything (no matter how crappy it was) was provided for you already. I think my budget for spending money in Iraq was around $100 a month or so.

Not true, not unless he knows how to manage his money properly. Even though it is a huge paper trail to get certain things for your children such as baby formula, milk, health care, and all that good stuff, they are there and designed to help you if you need it. You just need to take advantage of all the benefits that you are entitled to. You also have to understand that if he does indeed have kids, lives off post, etc... he receives extra money in the form of BAH, right?
