    Borrowed a freinds wheels + coil install

    Traded my FK's to a friend straight up for his GC's. He's letting me roll on his wheels for a bit as well while he completes his engine swap.



    Put the coils on full low and went to back out of my driveway. Instantly pulled the fender lip out, so I grabbed a pipe from my garage and rolled the fenders where it sat. No rubbing now except for full-lock while rolling.













    Drove around like this for the day. When I got home, I decided that I didn't like all the rake (made worse by the huge rear tires) so I pulled the rear adjusters. Just springs in the back now.



    My shorter front shocks came today; I think I'm going to shorten the front housings an inch. This will be my winter beater, so I don't want to shorten them too much and make it useless.

    Yes the hood is up
    Yes only one turn is red
    I haven't gotten around to doing the lower window trim yet

    Thanks for looking!

                    White balance must have been on holidays.

                    Is this your M30-powered car? Or is that the white one in the background of the driveway pics?
