About what I was doing in Norcal... Well, I went to SF State and some of my close friends graduated this year. Couldn't miss it! They're my Norcal fambam! Oh yeah, I found a picture that my friend took of my car in one of the parking garages on campus:



I know I need spacers. Before anyone says anything, I didn't go for more aggressive offsets because these were a used set. For the price I got them at I couldn't pass them up

i just installed my megan coilover too. had em about a week or so now. the ride quality is pretty good for being so low. zero gap in the front and rear tucked. all i need is some rims, i'm rolling in stock 09 17s. how is the ride with bigger rims?

Nice write up, and thanks for the quick PM reply.
The only thing that i didnt like about your reply, is that i might have to buy those coilovers sometime now. Making my wallet at least 900 dollars lighter.

The ride with bigger rims really varies amongst the owner. In my opinion the ride is fine and I'm satisfied with no complaints. I know I'll be feeling more bumps in the road having bigger rims that require tires with a smaller profile (When I say bumps, I'm referring to all bumps, stones, road markers, potholes, even the little pebbles). There are a lot of factors that will effect the ride on bigger rims, not just suspension and not just tires.

looks great. while the height you had when you left musicbox was crazy sick, a 1/4" higher would definitely go a long way in preserving your fender liner.
