Seemed more appropriate than starting a new thread and then referencing this one. I could be wrong.

2. The stock tires/wheels are quite skinny so hella flushing a skinny setup can look rather dorky.

3. Scrub radius is already pretty far out there at 20/25, going any further might not be such a hot idea.
For 1&2, if it's only a 1inch drop, wouldn't there still be enough gap between the tire and fender so it wouldn't be hella flush with chance of rubbing fubber?

Sorry if these are newbish questions.

They shouldn't tuck or rub at this point, but they might poke a bit.

Here is mine on 20/25 spacers with 1.125 drop in front and 1.25 in rear (after the springs settled).

Here's my setup. Eibach sportlines and 20mm and 25mm spacers. Just about flush except the rear. 30mm should do, because of the camber.

How has this set up been after a few months now? How has the steering/handling feel changed? Better or worse? And ride comfort? I'm mainly worried about a bouncy ride with the springs.

Thanks!

^not bouncy at all... I little more stiff but not too much for DD and steering/handling are awesome... You will need an alignment and you might want to get some caster bolts too, I did.
