Well that just sucks doesn't it haha. Btw the comments don't bother me. My car doesn't look good for anyone... Just me. I'm completely happy with it. If it's not your cup of tea, beer, soda, water, I really could care less. There is other threads where people are asking for opinions... You guys should check them out.
So the rear traction rods, lower control arms and toe arms have all been replaced with megans. They all fully adjustable and all Need to be replaced to get the camber, correct the caster and correct the toe. The rear fenders are only cut and do rub when I have it in low mode if I hit a bump a lil rough. The fronts are rolled and rub lightly on the freeway when hitting bumps. It doesn't bother me. The fender liners in front are cut a quarter of the way in from the rubbing which was annoying but it's good now. Front is at -3 and rear at -8.
The car is lowered using the stock sensors in the rear and the front bars are cut and rewelded shorter. When adjusting the fronts, your able to lift it but I'm happy with the height. When I drive through town, you can put a key between the fender and tire but I still have enough room to drive and turn without rubbing. Just gotta go slow

I'm waiting to pull all corners until the car starts to wear more. I don't wanna hack at the body just yet, there isnt even a ding or dent in the car. My sc300 is getting some love now... The 430 hogged all the attention from me.
The poke and camber has grown on me... I definitely didn't like it at first. I do like having something different out here though

Do it like how you want it, it's your ride...I think a slight pull will do it, not encouraging a major pull (just yet lol) but i like the route your going keep it up.. (The SC can wait it's turn
) The LS will always get love over most car's once you start driving it.... haha I totally forgot about my other ride once i bought my LS haha

I do want to pullt he fenders but i dont want to damage the paint more than when i rolled the front. I want to give it some time. when the front flakes more, the whole fron will get painted and the fenders will be pulled at that point.

Complete - when all the attributes necessary to pull off a desired look are achieved it is complete.
This is not complete. When I can see tire tread on top of the tires it's incomplete for the look you are going for, unless major VW poke is what you think looks good.
Whats the point of the stretched tires and camber adjustment pieces if you're gonna drive that high? If thats the height you want to ride at you bought a too aggressive wheel.
Now with that said, if you get it at least 2" lower all around, then it would be 'complete'. In my eyes this is just a first step on the way to a sick ride. Get a good body shop to do the necessary fender/quarter work and you'll be golden. Good luck!

I squatted on the entire drivers side, lol, so I can see the reasoning you have for this. It was upsetting because it was the first "roll" on the set up, it lowered followed by ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ then smoke, lol. You're in the same boat as me Army budget constraints, lol. I feel your pain man, lol, I do. I'm up here at Drum now and have the rims in house hold goods on their way, going to check out shops around here for shave/pull/roll, whatever they think I may need, lol.
