Default Almost complete: The new stance

Took a little longer than I thought to install the H&R coilovers, but I think it was worth the effort

Before - 4X4 Look:



After - Dumpt Look:





Lighting sucks in this pic, but I wanted to see if I was level or not... not bad at all for an outright guess! Measures at 2 7/8" from top of rim to bottom of wheel-well in front, 3 1/16" in back.





Still have some camber issues to work out in the rear, but I am pleasantly surprised at how straight the fronts appear... I may not need front A-arms after all...





Future Plans:
  • 19x9.5 +12 TE37s for the front (currently at weaksauce 19x8.5 +22) on order from Forged... should be here in about a month. Keeping the rears at 19x10.5 +22. Will go 255/35/19 front, currently at 275/35/19 rear.
  • Front Lip - I like the Mine's look lip that JDMZ33 has, I may go for that.
  • Rear wiper delete
Then that's it for appearance mods, I'm calling it done!

We'll see how long that lasts.

We'll see when they settle... I left myself another inch on the coils, but I gotta see if I can clear the speedbumps at work first!

Some BBK, yes. Stock Brembos, doesn't sound like it. From what I have read, will require a 3mm spacer.

We'll see when they get here.

That craze is the dumbest look ever, and I'll be happy when it ends, just like the stupid rust look did.

depending on which brand tires you go with you can fit a 255/35 on a +12... i did, and im very happy with how it turned out... i think it would make more sense with a 285/35 in the rear... oh and thats on a 9.5 +12... just realized you might be recommending the 245/35 for a 8.5 wide wheel..

i wouldnt go much lower though i dont think.. looks good.
