YO Whats UP,
I live in town and I will try to see if I can make it to the next cruz. How about spacers? Did you have to put on spacers to get that flush look? I have some 16x7 rims that I ran on my Mini but I had to run spacers. Just wondering if I run those rims, I would have to run spacers. Thanks for the reply!

I have the backs as low as they go but the fronts could go lower. I'm rubbing my fender liners like crazy. Rvall004 did you have to do any work to be that low? Any pics?

Are you running any camber kit man?

What was the camber reading when you got your alignment done?

I haven't got my alignment done yet. I know I know but I figured they may need to settle a little first. Thats what they told my wife when she took her WRX in right after she got her springs. And I am really only rubbing bad when I had a ton of groceries in the back. But no camber kit. These are camber adjustable in the front. What is a recomended camber degree?

Fender liner mod, and you still havent painted your damn calipers.
Could have done it while the coils were going in.

Remove the upper fender clips and plastic inserts. (3 I believe?)
Leave the lower ones in, the ones by the sideskirt and on the skirt.

Push the fender lining up and over/past the inner metal fender lip. Itll make a pop sound.
Thats it. Save the clips in case you want to put it back.

While youre there the metal tabs that held the plastic inserts bend them somewhat flat with your fingers. Somewhat easy.

They should have been painted during the coil install.

Damn Rvall004 car looks great. Thanks for the pics. I may try to go a little lower after I work on the fender lining. I'm having a little trouble with the sway bay making noise. I need some updated pics soon too!
