Default Pictures after Eibach Pro Kit install and Spring Mount Mod

I use to be able to see alot of tires from under the front view of the car. I still would like to add a lip or replace the front bumper to something like a Nismo V2 or Amuse. I no longer have the 3 finger gap in the rear fender. It is a 1 finger gap all arround now.

BTW... I have not installed the Camber Arms and Toe Bolts yet. I was too tired and the shop didn't have the proper tool to drill into the frame of the car. I notice the extreme negative camber which is caused by lowering the rear 1.4 inches. I hope to fix this soon because I dont want to mess up my rear tires.

I would like oppinions for a front kit.

Not sure if you can see the rear camber.

Finally it is DROPPED!!

Default After Eibach Pro Kit, Spring Mount Mod and Fender Roll

^^ Thank you MKNZ.

Ray, a Las Vegas local, did an great job rolling my fenders. He has 7 years experience and did over 1000 cars.


Now I have room for spacers and camber adjustments.

Painted over chrome? I hope they stripped them first. Now you need some spacers!

Just got her back from the paint shop! Added a Shine Auto Project V2 nose/skirts/rear add-ons, and shine's clone of the C20 roadster spoiler. Just received my BBK this morning (Akebono 40th annivers. kit) but may be a week or two before I have time to install it. I've also got a set of eyelids painted to go on it but I still can't decide whether or not to use them (they definitely make it look more aggressive from the front, but I'm afraid they might be getting a bit "ricey" if you know what I mean! I'll try to post some pics with them for comparative purposes later).

^^^ Looks good. I see you got the whole Nismo thing going. Yeah I think some spacers would be a good idea too. What are your wheel's sizes and offsets?? What did you do as far as suspension?

No room for any wider spacers unless I want to do fenderwell surgery. Running 20mm spacers on the front/ no spacers on the rear, and have a tight 1-finger gap both front and rear (it doesn't look like it in the pictures due to the shadows, but trust me - it's tight!). Wheels are Ray's LMZ5's. Front are 19x9 with a +47mm offset (weighs 20.5 Lb) and rears are 19x10 with a +30mm offset (weigh 20.9 Lbs) running Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports in 245/40R19 on the front and 275/35R19 on the rear. If I roll the rear fenders I could probably use a 15mm (which I already have in my parts box) or 20mm spacer on the rear but I'm not real keen on using spacers on the drive wheels. Suspension-wise, I installed Tokico D-Specs and the matching Tokico springs (dropped it almost exactly 1" front and rear) and a set of Hotchkis adjustable sway bars.
I'll install the BBK over the christmas holidays and then I'll swap out the exhaust (currently leaning towards the Nismo S-Tune exhaust, but not committed yet). Nothing done under the hood just yet because I'm saving up for a JWT TT set up and I figure I'll do most of my motor/drivetrain mods all at once sometime next year.

And ya, I've decided against the whole eyelid thing. The more I looked at them on her the ricier they started looking to me.
