Nice glad you were able to use those springs. Here is my replacement, hopefully they won't sit in the garage forever this time.

I want to puth them on but............ok I'll admit it................... I'm scared. I want to fill the wheel gaps but dont want to scrape. I was thinking of getting 19's when I do wheels. Do you guys think that will fill that gap ok?

I think with 19's you'll sit good. Don out in Vegas has 19's with Stechs and his car looks amazing.

19s will look bigger, but you won't fill the gap unless the tire diameter is larger than 25.9".

just lower it. we've all have scraped. it's inevitable. After a couple times it won't hurt so bad. I would show you a pic of how bad someone on here scraped his front, but he probably wouldn't like it. lol....

Drive to SOCAL in Sept for Sevenstock. I may be going this year. There should be some caravan threads popping up in the NW section. I started a feeler thread but it is not getting much attention.

I'm on that thread. Its like 1100 miles each way, and so far this summer has been very expensive. If I get a good bonus at work this month I may try to make it.

I think they would look ok hooked to the courtesy light fuse. They come on when you unlock the car and turn off at the same time courtesy/puddle lights turn off.

if you mean post 239 in that thread, shine did not use the top bumper bracket, that's why it was having fitment problems.
