Some good looking twins in here.

I'm currently running 265/35/18x9.5 MPSS with 57Xtremes all around, only rubs on full lock on driver side now.

Fenders rolled a bit by themselves along with some of the fender liner trim at first. Had black trim for about 2 weeks around the wheels haha.

Megan Racing Coils
Megan Rear Toe Arms
Whiteline Camber Bolts

-2 Camber all around until I get the Megan LCA's

I will say that the Megan's turned out pretty smooth for the drop so far. AST 4200's in the future.

Is there someone in PA or Jersey area that can blackout headlights? terrified to do that myself with my painting skills.

Should be getting my Rexpeed STI kit tomorrow

. Few modifications to make the splitter fit with it.

Just went up to 255/35 front and 265/35 rear. I am annoyed at trying to get everything sorted. Keep on adjusting coilovers until I have it right. this thread gives me hope..I dont wanna be to high, but not to low. My struggle is adjusting my coilovers while my car is parked on a uneven rock driveway..so ill lower it down to the ground and one side is high other side is low..put it into the street the sides switch.. Lmao. I hate cars right now.

bro.

grab a tape measure or a set of calipers, measure distances between collars and make sure preload is set even on those so you know it will sit square... then measure hub to fender and see how much a drop you need to lower or raise. adjust appropriately based on those two measurements... you shouldn't be eyeballing anything, it doesn't matter if driveway is uneven when you adjust

Bro I was using a digital micrometer to measure, But lowering the car on a rock driveway that is super uneven isn't reassuring. But I am good now. Still rub a little when i hit bumps but thats fine.

Hello! Noob here. I just picked up the following: 18x8.75 +33 wheels, 255/40 tires all around. Currently have TRD lowering springs and stock struts. What will I have to do to make this fit with no rubbing at all?

DeshuL · 05-30-2016, 12:29 AM

I will be in this club soon

Very nice. Good to see 18x9.5" +45 as that is what I have and just looking to go up from 255 to 265. Pleased to see that setup looks awesome before I do it.

Thanks for posting.
