Yeah I know I'm gonna fender roll and I think I'll be Ok as the offset isn't that aggressive, hmm maybe spacers at the same time or later in the week might help the stance..

I'm gonna cut a small amount I think, and maybe measure on the strut assembly itself, I'll have help and the guy cuts springs a lot... Lol

If you can't easily get springs now, just wait and do it later, cutting springs completely alters their performance and functionality to completely unknown and unreliable standards. You can cut the spring mounts if you seek to lower the back at the present time with no issues, but I would definitely recommend that you don't touch the springs themselves...

I know it's not recommended, but I'm an idiot and will do it anyway, that will actually force me to order the Z springs, so it's like a darwin effect or some ****.... LOL, but seriously, it's what I wanna do, so I'm a do it...

Darwin effect a sense that those that are smarter will live while others who aren't as smart die in a horrific car accident. Jokes

Used to have type r evo etc and my fast driving days are over


But brace yourselves guys, cause I'm gonna put BREMBO CALIPER COVERS on this biatchhhhhhh too... Haha, that's gonna be a Darwin award thread starter I'm sure... Lol

Sigh

The back looked Ok but the front looked like a Xmas decoration!

But alas! I should have stuck with those and painted them to my liking! Dammit

Lol, sheet metal spacers, haha

Aren't those 20s? I still can't get how in the Internet pics 20s look so huge and my 20s look like 18s to me, I guess the rim design has a lot to do with it and of course the drop and flushName:  20130614_065304_zps50579831.jpg

I figure if I go lower I'd only need a 6mm spacer or such..this looks pretty flush doesn't it?. (by the way there no way I'm running negative camber like I see in some pics) Name:  20130614_065411_zps1cae9064.jpg

Just paint em matte black and be done with.
The white and black contrast should be clean.

Good luck.
