Its a crazy tight squeeze to get them in there. My width and offset doesn't help the fact either. I actually need a 3mm spacer. So im gonna wait on putting the brakes and wheels on and get myself some extended studs just to be safe about it.
Ya i wish i had photography skills and a nice camera...
You always make things look extra good with that camera, jely
It's how i pay my bills. =)

subframe brace already bought....should be here wednesday (today now) hopefully i dont miss the delivery and have to wait an extra day. Sway and endlinks haven't been bought yet though. Going to go ahead and match my front sway since this coupe came with one

Started removing a bunch of those ugly yellowish clips, brackets, and nonsense in the bay. Deleted the charcoal canister and lines as well. Then tried to clean up a bit underneath all that crap.



Still needs a few more passes to get up all the dirt, but i got a lot off the first time.


low angle pictures to hide my ugly faded roof





and a couple of inner barrel shots of the wheel and bbk since i get asked about it a lot. It's borderline fitment.

I'll be running spacers so i'll end up having a bit more room for the wheel tape weights (the barrel angles outward/wider towards the inside)




Looks like it wouldn't fit from a distance, which is the cool part imo

That's what I thought, just curious. I've never talked to anyone with the spherical bushings, just curious how much of a noticeable difference there is.

Spherical + Consistent Commute = Not Winning cause when they break down its 3x the slop then OEM rubber or Poly which cause irregular wear on other suspension bits and premature tire wear!

no idea what an a disk is lol
You have a, o, and r disks for the wheel faces.
A is a standard type of face with a moderate curve to the spokes, o usually has no curve, and r has the biggest curve allowing the most room for bbk's. My wheel specs aren't offered in a R disk, so A disk was the way to go for my fronts but I still need a tiny bit more space .
