Do you not rub at all in the back? What are you wheel specs?

Right now I rub a bit, because I tend to drive aggressively. Rears are 10.5 but to be honest, no idea what the offset is anymore. We shaved them down

Yep. I was the first one before he went on a spree and built them for every single car. Before me all he did was E9Xs

Lol its a great thing. Painted mine with truck bed liner and shaved the edges of the fins. Its strong as hell. Was getting pulled backward onto a flatbed and by the ungodly crunch I though the diffuser was toast. Somehow it was totally fine. Unbolted and got it on the flatbed. You can also slide it in and out for more/less aggressive. Where are you located? Theres a meet tonight in La Mirada. Tons of people. He said hes trying to go.

Looking Good! I like the title of your thread.

I just noticed something looking at the photos of your Angel Eyes. For the Coupe and Verts are they suppose to both be the same size? Looks like the ones you have are two different sizes. I have a coupe with Xenons. The kit I just bought are Khoalty LED Angel Eyes and they are both the same size.

Mine are different. Bought from the only listing I could find anywhere for different sizes. Ebay. I know that other kits are the same size rings. I dont like this, because inside the headlight itself, the chrome rings are different sizes. Which means one ring will sit on top of the chrome ring while the other will sit around it. I didn't like that. Also not thrilled with the light output during the day compared to LED, so currently looking.

I'm rubbing a lil and I'm running 10 et40 rears and I'm not as low as you. Is everything shaved/trimmed back there?

Everything is pretty rolled and shaved. Seems I missed a spot with the roller so I need some more. Didn't get all the gunk out of the fender lip

Are the fronts rolled as well? I want to go lower in the front but I'm not sure about the fenders.

Fronts are untouched but not as fitted as the rear. Kinda want a 5mm space

Yeah just springs. Decent ride too. Think I need sways now. Not too bone shatteringly stiff either. Thanks

When John is done with my 3mm spacer, I will have a 5mm spacer for sale :)

Is that a Stoptech BBK I see?

Stock caliper, sorry lol. Stoptech Rotors, pads, and lines. So I thought it was stoptech enough to put a little sticker on there
