Not sure but I'm going to guess close to -4.5 to -5 degrees in the rear.

I appreciate it.

When I get some time and borrow my buddy's fender roller again, I'll remove the front calipers and then I'll be able to roll a good bit more than I already have. Then I'll bring it down a good bit more. Right now I'm sitting 23 1/4" fender to the ground all the way around. I still need to do the timing belt, water pump and drive belts. I plan on changing all the fluids really soon too.

I'm on the look out for a front lip and some skirts soon.

lol yeah.. I'm still euro at heart.
If it all works out, I'll have the fender basically even with the lips, front and rear.

Removed the front calipers and did a slight pull all the way around.
I'm still rubbing a bit in the rear but I'll get around to fixing all that noise.
I guess I should get to maintenance now... haha.
Next, I'll be on the hunt for a clean oem style front lip and possibly skirts.
Shave and respray for the trunk will be completed soon as well.

The car is looking great with the coils and rims! Very well put together for sure, can't see anything else needing to be done, really.
