I can't wait either...I'm still debating if I'm going to get a F7 brace or ASR. I'm also up in the air about a rear sway bar. But I will most likely just get a brace and if I feel like getting a sway later on down the road I'll do so.

I talked to a guy I know around the way who happens to be a photographer and I told him I wanted to do a lil photo shoot when I lower the car. He has a coupe like mines but it's orange. So maybe I can get some legit shots up here soon. Hopefully this winter is like last winter with only one big storm, that way I can lower the car.
Yea winter sucks...unless your cars AWD. At least I'll have a pile of parts like you just waiting to be put on lol. But I am considering putting my coilovers on and just riding around like a monster truck but that's kinda pointless. Which reminds me, would I need to get a alignment ever time I change my ride height?I wish winter wasnt coming up for you so you could do more upgrades
Oh yes!! Don't want premature tire wear...
I've been looking up threads on HT and it's some pretty good argument of whether you need them or not. I guess it's comes down to how fast your tires wear.
What if he does?
lolWhat if he does?
Technically, yes. Just a slight height change makes a considerable difference in toe angle and can eat away at your tires. Sure it won't be a 1 month tire killer but it will make a difference. For the longest lasting tire, it's best to get it aligned.
Getting a camber kit is a good idea for alignment to get even more life out of your tire and if you were an avid racer, it would allow further tweaking. So it's good all around. Camber isn't the big tire killer that some believe it is, but it does have its contribution to the damage. I'd use a camber kit unless your wheel and tire fitment doesn't allow the camber kit room to make useful adjustments (ex. too low and smash the UCA's or wheel/tire fitment is pretty flush with natural camber)
I understand it just how do you know what offsets will clear your brakes.
That depends on your spoke design. For instance, Desmond Regamaster's design is meant for big brake because the center of the wheel is the only part that sits inward on a low offset size. The deep dish wheels sometimes have a design with very little brake clearance.
Ok so I guess it's time to start researching wheels. I'll start by checking out stance nation to get a idea of what wheel require you to use spaces and extended studs. I don't think I want to have to run spacers, I'm not really a fan of the "poke" look.
It's all about what you want to be honest. If you aren't running any big brake kit then I wouldn't really worry about clearance issues unless you want to run HX's
