funny you ask that because I had the same intention to not lower the car, but improve the suspension. I had the car originally set to stock height (you can do that with the V2s). But after a while.. you just want to lower it .. and lower it .. and lower it some more just b/c you can .. but I may have gone too low in the front.. gonna dial is back up a little.

How do I check my endlinks and swaybar? Would that help me clear the V2 perch without the need for spacers? Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it!

Well Im not surprised the V2 are a pain when it comes to wheel fitment, Just weird how the stock rims didnt barely clear hmm. The collar though if adjusted to low would probably get in the way.

As far as endlinks and swaybar no it doesnt effect wheel fitment but it will ensure your sway isnt in a bind. Read the link and look at pics then pm me if you need any ?s answered V2 endlink issue. Yea there are limited 5mm spacers that dont have issues the 10 is fine then.
