Thanks!!! Do you know if the offset your running will clear Akebono's; or will I have to run spacers?

Yes, these wheels were made specifically to be as close as possible to the suspension upright and brake caliper. I probably have 2-3mm to the caliper.

I appreciate it. I'll do some more research to see if anyone's running something equivalent to Akebono's brake setup. Don't really want to go with 19's and extra unsprung weight...

Haven't taken off any of the camber so threw that big brick in there to picture the car, hence why it's still in the air.

Also, I really need to get the back fenders rolled... getting some slight rubs on bumps...
Need to lower the front some more.

Rear is around 2 degrees camber right now and front is 1.4. Hoping I wont eat through the tires. I shouldn't..... Maybe

Here are some more photos.

As you will see there is a fairly decent amount of gap in the front...

Also, the rock chips... They make me sad sometimes. But then again sometimes I look at it and think how cute she has freckles. lol
