Yeah I know as it sits it is not too aggressive but the specs are 18 x 8 +33 in the front and 18 x 9 +27 in the rear. So do you think 10mm spacers in the front will even them out?

I like the way the rear sits and after I lower her more I think it will be legit. After installing Bilstein Coil overs on another members 8 thsi weekend I am thinking coil overs is the way to go even though they were a bitch to raise after they were installed.

These are sick dude. Try cropping the pic a bit to focus on the car.

10 mm spacers would be a good place to start.

Yea those Advans look really good. Can you post a pic that isn't edited?

get your coilovers before the spacers because once you lower more it will look even more sunk and need a bigger spacer

Looks great. Only thing I would change is get the trim on the MS kit painted a darker color.
