Any chance of some profile pics @DarrenDriven to see how much they poke now.
Just to confirm that at the moment you have the Rota Torque 17x9 +30 and lowering springs - thats it wheels and suspension wise (until your coil overs arrive). Any rub issues? |

Yeah, I will take some soon.
No rubbing at all with the 1" drop and 17x9.0 +30, but I am still going to get the front pair of wheels machined slightly to raise the offset about 10mm.

It really just strikes me as the way the car should have come in the first place. Not scraping-the-speedbumps low, just sexy low. Car looks great!

Hey thanks, we sure like it! Yours looks great as well Darren, want to see it in person some day. I'm not really sure about the camber, I had Les Schwab install them for me and my wife picked it up so I didn't get a chance to talk to them after. I wanted to go 8.5, but they advised against it. But honestly, I think you'd be just fine after looking at mine with 8.0 wheels.

Any issues with shock travel or hitting the bump stops?

No bottoming out, and it comes with new bump stops anyway so I think that helps. Feels just a little stiffer than stock, like how it LOOKS like it should feel, if that makes sense.

It did affect the camber. In the front the top of the wheel sunk 2mm and in the rear there was a 5mm sink... but I have since removed these springs and installed D2 coilovers with a more extreme camber setup for a more JDM, slightly-hellaflush look.

Interested to hear your driving impressions of the Eibachs vs. The D2s.
