front right fender rubs against the plastic when I break. going to SPP tomorrow to raise it a bit.

the left rear fender is 5cm away from touching the tire, so it will need some rolling.

btw, it took me 10 mins to get out of the SPP driveway

Yeah, I would recommend raising it. It's a tad bit too low. If you need some pointers on getting up and down driveways, let me know. My black widow kit on my Accord hung lower than your splitter.

Hey AW, can you snap a couple of pics of your right front coils when you get them raised? My PSS9 is slammed to the weed and the front coils is already max'ed out at its highest settings Also, my right front rubs when I'm taking right turns... hard
... Thats Torquey5 Jet Black 550i (stock suspension) to the left of my E60
