Perfectly even stance I like it! What tire sizes are you running again? 245/35/19 and 275/30/19?

So Lightfytr with the 275/35/19 in the rear does the tires cover the lip of the wheels? Can you post up a photo of stance of the rear so I can see the tires covering over the lip of the wheels. Thanks

Ask and you shall receive!

Just so you know there isnt much protection because if the wheel falls face first than the wheel WILL get scratched. Dont ask how I know...

Coming together real nice. I'll be installing my coilovers next week which should be fun

One thing I've learned after doing numerous spring installs is that marking the spring/perch location then just removing the strut bolt while the car is sitting is a lot easier than using a spring compressor
