Did you have to do any fender modification at that ride height??
thanks! final offsets are +30(F) and +28(R), 5mm spacer in the front and 12mm spacer in the rear. i didnt have to do any fender modification yet, right now it rides just fine with only slight rubbing in the front when i hit bumps. but the rear may rub on the fender lip if i take alot of passengers, i'll just have to wait and see when it happens.

Bad idea to wait until it happens. Control the envioroment before it controls you!

I've always gotten new tires from tire rack...

And If you order the new pilot super sports they HAVE to be new since they just came out (the full line of sizes) in 2011.

Just put on my front lip and rear diffuser, hopefully i can find some Tom's side skirts to finish the look. Front lip sits pretty low, kindve scary, especially after i install the suspension.
