Car looks fantastic. What are the offsets on your wheels? Any issues with rubbing with your setup. I may have to copy you on the wheels, they just look amazing with that color.

Offset is 40mm I believe...and I have ZERO rubbing issues with a 2 inch drop.

And no, my camber is fine. Slightly negative, but nothing significant to the point where is completely ESSENTIAL to adjust camber at the same time of lowering the car. Some cars, yes. I had a Honda Challange civic project, lowered it about 3 inches with coilovers, and there was A LOT OF negative camber.

I actually installed the springs without anything initially just to see how it was. HONESTLY, I had no problems, the rear sat level, etc... That was just me though, not sure about other people.

Thanks 07!

Alot of thought, time, money and effort went into my ride to get it just right.... If you can believe it, it's still a work in progress, just like the rest of our cars are....

Your car looks fantastic, keep it up.
