Default It's almost there.

Needs more tweaking, but it's getting there. Big thanks to Drew Dorbritz and Santi for all their hard work on this piece!

- Front tire sits on fender liner; probably will have to take them out.
- Front notches need some more trimming I think, trimmed some last night and it got a bit lower.
- Front bag adjustment and strut height need to be done for max lift and max drop
- Rear sleeves need to be re-done as they are a bit too short and I lose lift

Overall, I'm very happy with it. In this pic, the rears have ~60psi as the rear sleeves are a bit too short and I don't want extreme reverse rake. :P

Yup. I don't have any liners in my other car for years. All it does is just keep excess amounts of dirt and some pebbles out, really. Nothing big.

Haha, no thanks.

Trying to get the car actually lower before I cheat with a kit.

I'm so glad I didn't get a white GS but I really like the way they look when lowered; this is a nice example. What are your plans for wheels?
