I got my spacers in [yesterday]. I plan on throwing them on when I get off work to see how they sit in the rear. Will post pictures in here if I like it

Do you not have tools? I did the springs myself without reading the DIY.... now the DIY would have FOR SURE helped, but you can rent a spring compressor and get your money back.... I have heard you don't need to use it, but I have every time I worked on the front suspension.

People say you dont need to be as cautious with the top bolt of the top hat when taking it off....I put a 2" deep gouch in the asphalt taking mine off while it was aimed at a wall.
If you have a crows foot wrench and a set of small wrenches it makes the top way easier to put together up front.
One final thing: allot 2 hours for each side. Likely you won't use 1/2 that time but it's craply to run outta sunlight.
Good luck!

Am I wasting my time?
I'm buying my buddies enkei rs05rr's
They're 18x11 +16 all the way around stretched on 235/40 tires.
I am lowered on kw v1 coilovers probably about an inch or so up front. I have no aftermarket front allignmemt parts.
Would these fit without fender work up front? I know the backs will fit no problem.
I am going to test fit them soon but I figured I'd ask here first before i wasted my time.

I ran 18x10.5+12 w/ 275/35 up front but my fenders are rolled flat and I have Cusco arms.
18x11+16 are ~2mm more aggressive than mine just to give you an idea. Pics for reference:

Yes and no; depends on what kind of tire you want. If you don't want to get aftermarket arms or flatten your fenders then you have to run a thinner tire to avoid rubbing. The more you lower your car the more negative camber you will get without aftermarket arms but if you aren't planning on going lower than an inch I would probably opt to buy the thinner front wheels. Otherwise, you might come out looking "mexiflush."
