It was a nice little tech day.
I was also able to see the famous electric impact in action.
If I ever have to do anything with the front I will be sure and let you know. The front is easy its just dealing with the nismo sways that makes it hard.

yeah, but that place is awesome! They can make custom lines using any fitting......they are awesome for a FI application guy. probably be able to re route your lines to completely be out of the way.
I figure if they know a company in Dallas, then they would more than likely be a good place.......

I don't know ....why don't you ask your wife ?
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.
But really there is a difference from where it was. As small as it might seem it did help alot. I was not looking for a Slammed look, just a bit lower & it accomplished that.

You can buy anything on the internet. I know it is just a generic word fill in for that website based on my search, but I thought it was a little humor in my otherwise crappy day. I got plenty of rotor rust and I bet I can beat their prices!!

If you want to cover your wheel gap then you need to slam it, basically. I can barely go over speed bumps and I still have a gap in the rear. My front is just barely tucking.

Having no wheel gap is tough. Especially if you want it to look good. Especially with aftermarket wheels. Need some fairly low offset, would need to run a little more camber then normal, and would need to roll fenders, in some occasions would need to stretch tires. I love the slammed look. But I know how it's like driving around slammed and its definitely not fun.
Squeaky which stance version did you get? How are you liking it so far being tucking in the front.

Driving around this low is a bit of a task. My rear camber is not too bad but I know it is out of spec. I have to roll the fenders before I can put the camber kit on. With the size of the rear tires and the offset of the wheels I know it will look good after I get the alignment.
When Eric raised the rear of my car the front end was just barely hovering above the garage floor. We were barely able to get the jack stands under the rear. We were going to take a picture but forgot.
