Looks really nice. I like it.

I like the setup! But try and take some clearer pics of your car next time lol I want to buy the same coilovers but still need to do some research on them, considering the price. Will your rubbing eventually go away becuase of proper adjustment of the coilovers? Tell us how everything goes....

too tired to care after the 1st adjustment so i just left it. it only rubs when i turn at a 45 deg. angle and then it goes away. i'll adjust it tomorrow if i'm not feeling lazy. The back i'm acutally very surprised it's not rubbing because its kinda tucked in.

i noticed barely any diff when i installed the coilovers. no one eve noticed the stiffer ride. hell i barely noticed it but it handles 100% better (that is if i put it on the softest setting) the stiffest setting is descently stiff
