Default My Flush and Staggered AWD

just a couple of pictures of my car, just got the car less than a month ago so she's still nowhere near done, these wheels are just temporary, have an all time favorite wheel in mind but they're discontinued so just waiting for one to pop up in 19s

let me know what you guys think

you'll void your warranty if you put more preload on the springs to get the whole unit to drop more.

there shouldnt be issues if you run the correct tire sizes. for ex) for F:18x8 R: 18x8.5 tires should be F: 225/40/18 and R: 255/35/18 OR 225/45/18 255/40/18

over all diameter has to be the same or close enough by less than 3% that the system wont pick it up. I had the check 4wd light running staggered tires set up and quickly bought dws tires with correct sizes

hes not talking about dealer warranty, hes referring to warranty of the coilovers

if your under CPO and put BCRs on then it will void your suspension warranty for your struts/shocks. if anything else goes wrong they would have to prove your suspension caused the problem.

i adjusted the preload a bit because the front would not tuck, I know this can make the car ride worse and possibly damage the coilover itself, but I didn't adjust it that much and ride quality still feels the same as before

the rears just needed to be rolled and pulled just a bit, prolly 1/8", i didn't want to do anything too drastic, still rubs quite a bit though, planning on getting 225/35 tires for the rear so it should fix that problem and plus rolling diameter would be a lot closer, so thats also a plus

issues so far with staggered on an AWD, none so far but it did make me vibrations go away, dont ask me why or how, it just did lol
