Can you recommend a shop that can roll fenders in Houston that uses a hub-mounted tool along with a heat gun?
I've heard that it is good to cut the edges at the bottom of each rainbow so that the when you roll you won't tug on the fender; the idea is that the lip will lay down like the biitch that it is w/out cracking paint or creasing the fender. This might not be necessary if you have a good shop doing it and you would need a rust inhibitor too.

), had them saved on your hd?
), had them saved on your hd?"rays 19 question" "sedan picture compilation--search for specific member like superb16". Once I was in the thread I was sig-whoring.....ie sig-fishing for cpe 19s, 19-coupe, coupe 19s etc. If I saw that I went to "view profile>view all threads started by member" I would scan their threads and 30% of the time I would see a thread like"just intalled my coupe 19s" and then I would go in and read and save all the pics to my pic-folder. Most of them I saved by member name, but a few pics I don't exactly know who they are and some of them are no longer members and sold off their wheels/cars. Some are members, but sold the wheels like chobble. Anyway, not sure you wanted a thesis but you got one anyway!!
BTW--I agree with it looking better leaning at the nose a bit(slight "brake-dive"), rather than the "constant-acceleration-squat-look"...down in rear.
Have you heard anything about using z springs front(1"drop) and g coupe springs rear with 342 spring rate(unrevised) (1/2" drop). I will most likely use 245/35 front and rears. I hope this gives an even drop. If its too high in the back, I will go z all around.

I did not want to go cold and just pick a shop.
Is it like 50 bucks a side?
Do they install springs, do alignment/camber kits, coupe midpipes and such......just curious. I will call them.

I believe it was $80 for both sides. Not sure if the do anything else. I do all my suspension mods myself(besides alignment).

Once I get my recently purchased G coupe 19s mounted with Falken tires, Z/Gcpe springs on there it will look similar to Klubbheads G--the first 3 pics with coupe 19s. I have the full nismo aerokit, but my grille in not painted black and I have the spoiler.

I thought 1" drops on all 4 corners created a lower drop in rear/ higher in front..like the first 3 silver car pics........(except the 4th pic, gz19pic is down in the front like yours).
And to solve this, people use Z springs front (1" drop) and g coupe springs rear(1/2" drop) to bring the rear up and even, like the car with chrome pillars/girl in back.(not sure if that car has z front/g rear springs, though)
**I know the fenders are cut lower in the back, so I'm talking about a perceived even drop**
first G is Z springs on all 4 corners I think.
parkinglot silver G(3rd pic) is eibach prokit
4th pic is Z all around.
last pic, not sure, maybe z front, g coupe rear.
Anyone else with an answer, please chime in.
