Looks awesome. I just finished putting my coilovers on today also. I left them at what they came at, I need to start a thread on how to properly adjust them now. I think the front looks good but the rears look normal, and I don't wanna damage the car or the hardware.

Also, I've found that different tires are different widths even if they are the same size. My Dunlops were wider that my Hankooks which were wider than my Bridgestones. all were the same size tire...

There was a thread somewhere for borrowing spacers from other members for testing so you didn't have to keep buying them to get the right size. Not sure if it's still active or not

yeah i will raise them up little bit, it will be perfect if its possible that if i can borrow some spacers

Yeah you'll need an aggressive fender roll. Rear wheel 135M offset is ET51. I had ET45 19x19.5 with 265/30 which just fit with rolling when it was lowered. When I tried a 10mm making the rear ET35 it was rub city as I left the driveway. LOL. You might get away with an ET40 rear but you'll need flat fenders and more negative camber. There is a rear bumper clip what I had to take off and shave the stud but the bumper stayed aligned and never sagged. The other hot spot is the front side of the rear fender. Make sure it's also rolled good like the top as that was my last area of rubbing after all my modifications.

I'm running ET35 on the back... fenders rolled but that pesky clip is rubbing. I'll see if I can get a decent pic...
