Finally lowered. Just need to get it aligned and bring the rear camber back into spec.

Decided to see how well a bent 18x10.5+15 wheel fit on a s13 too. Not well. But there is maybe a 1/16" clearance between the coilover and wheel.

On vented rotors its actually the cooling fins in the rotor that decide what direction they go on and not the slots.

Assuming the veins are the same direction as the drilled holes, then yes, it's installed correctly.

They are... I got to thinking about this last night and even checked this morning. I was about to be pissed off if I had to take them off and redo it.

Thankfully they are on correctly.

Funny story. The calipers were actually upside down. No wonder they would never bleed.

Why couldnt you just post this in the Enkei thread or 18" wheel thread or fat tire thread?

Nice!! Much better than those Vossen 20s! plus you'll probably make some cash after you sell them. I must say the silver may have looked better on the SMB. but it def still looks good. Congrats.
