Nice job. Shadowline is my next project. It's been so cold here this winter, I'll probably wait until spring to do it.

Looks nice. You mentioned no rubbing. Did you have to install wheel spacers? If not, what size tires did you go with?
In you price breakdown, did the spring installation include the wheel alignment?

I have the M6 offsets - so no spacers. The fronts are 245/35 and the rears are 275/30. I'm not looking at them so i may have gotten the aspect figure backwards. But it is the recommended tire size from the manual based on a 19" wheel. Spring install included wheel alignment.
