hahah maximal flushness FTW.. well my plan is to see if i can get some fender work done tomorrow and see if it's driveable. if it is, i'll save the camber settings for later, but if not, i think i want to run some more camber for the time being just so i can make a turn without rubbing, then just get it realigned when i drop the coils in. i hate trapping the beastlyness of the car inside the garage lulz

So guys I think I need some spacers in the front, Just a couple questions I know its hard to tell me without seeing it but I can stocl one finger in between where the fender is and the tire. So im thinking I need some 5mm spacers will I have problems with turning if I do this like is my tire gonna be rubbing the fender? It already is close when fully turning.
Also will I be able to run 5mm spacers with stock studs?

5mm would be the maximum that is safe on factory studs.
Here are the last few pics I'll post of my car with this setup in this thread, unless anything changes. I was walking back to my car and couldn't help myself but take these! I wish this front hung a little lower but eh, what are you gonna do?

Really been thinking about a quad tip setup lately like the Abflug, Autobahn, Autoexe, or Kenstyle. Appearance package rear mud guards would do the trick for now, great idea!

Haha Mike, I know! I wanted tint but at the same time, I sorta dig the fishbowl look.

Chad - Didn't know you had that lip, it'll look sick once you get it all set up with spacers! I'm a bigger fan of the super advan V.II's but you're pulling those off just fine, nice to see something different
