Those actually make the stock ride height not so bad looking. And that deep dish look is so killer man, good choice in size. Get ready to roll fenders when you do decide to drop though! lol

^My car is dropped on Swift sport springs which I just installed 1 day before these photos were taken, so maybe they'll stettle a bit more over time.

And yes, this wheel/tire combo rubs in the rear if you don't roll your fenders.

^haha, my bad not noticing the drop... I think I'm used to seeing the more aggressive drop of the Eibachs. I swear, they're lower than advertised! Regardless, great looking setup dude. I wonder how these would look on the RR...

That looks like the perfect ride height for DD.

Does it only rub in the rear? I heard the back is all you really gotta worry about.

It only rubs the fenders in the rear over large bumps, a good roll of the fender will fix this though. The fronts just barely touch the louvered part of the wheel well liner at full lock, but thats really not an issue...I think the tires actually wore down the liner just enough now that it does touch anymore.

Just a note to you all, these wheels only clear the front Brembo's by what looks like less than 1mm , make sure whoever installs your wheel weights does not put them in line with the calipers!

Wish you had the factory body kit so I could see what it looks like. Probably gonna do the same setup on my car.

I just had my first track day with this setup this past Sunday, they performed great! My rear fenders are rolled so I didn't have any rubbing back there at all. The tires still rub on my fender liner in the front a bit at full lock, but again, that's not really an issue.

Here's the most recent pic of my car from my day at the track. This isn't the best pic, but the springs really didn't drop much after they settled.

BTW - this car is amazing on the track, you really can toss it around the corners....it just feels right, unlike my old Subaru which would just want to push and understeer.

Do you notice more crap with the larger tires poking out, being shoot alll over the sides of your car?
