I needed to raise it up a bit because I added a 25mm spacer, since my fronts were not rolled it rubbed at that baller height

5zigen Border GT (discontinued) now known as Mega Fireball...

Believe me, I hated it first time I put it on...now it kinda grew on me and I barely notice it at all...

Do it, now the best bang for the buck since I think I only have 24 leds in my cluster too

Elbow grease...tons of it..
I started out with 80 grit..then 150, 200, 400, 800, 1000, and finally 2000.

Used a dremel..flap wheels work.

Nothing wrong with cheap tires if you're eating thru them at a rate of one set per 2 years...All that negative camber I used to run in the rears won't choose which tire to chew.

Nah, I wouldn't want to do it again! I spent watching the entire NBA finals with a dremel in my hand.

It is. Still fly after 16 years.

Thank you sir, but yes, the calipers are my only mods to show after half a year. It's been slow money wise as the RX is not paid yet and trying to get my head back up from the water...

Sweet! I love the new brakes! The SC4 is looking better than ever man. The polish job is amazing, but I don't think I'd ever do it, so props to you!

It's about half an inch now. The 25mm spacer was too much, I could've gone with just a 15mm but the wheels would still be sunk and we all know sunk wheels = fail!
