I have helper springs but I'm not running them right now. They are definitely h&r though.

If you understand what a car is made of, which is metal, you should understand that although not the best method of repairing a wheel, the tiny amount of bondo I used (well tiny after sanding) to fill in the small curb rash will not make a difference whatsoever so long as it is done properly...

How do the helper springs sit in their exactly? Is there another plate between the helper springs and the coils? I need to figure out wtf to do since I don't have any helper springs or nice coils.

And with the wheels I'd just be warry of a poor tire installment chipping off some of that bondo.

I have a set of collar/plates for the springs but I may just leave them out. When I had my GC coilover setups in the past they don't use the helper springs. What coilovers are you running?
And btw, yes I have thought about the tire installment. I am far more worried about paint scratching than chipping bondo honestly. As I stated before, I had everything to do this laying around and just wanted to give it a shot. It was a better option to improve the wheels for now instead of spending $180 per wheel to have them professionally done.

I've got cosmos (i know their shit) (they were 200 dollars :D) I was just worried that the spring might be floating around up there to much. And is the only alternative to ridding yourself of the drop hats a set of camber plates?

Also, the wheels look really good anyways. I wouldn't worry to much. Just don't have some jackass do the tires.

I am not running drophats or the stock spring perches, I have the special plates from GC that let you run smaller ID springs on the stock strut hats, which I am doing until I can afford camber plates. I don't know how the cosmos coilovers work but do they just sit in the stock spring buckets and use the stock upper spring hats?
And yes, I have a specified tire shop locally luckily that can handle aftermarket wheels.

Decided to dial down the fronts about 3/4 of the way down on some 15" team dynamics I have just for shits. It was horribly undrivable. I have since raised the front to match the rear. Anyways, just a couple shots in the slight snowfall we got.

Get some!

Moving along very nicely, how much did you score the 3.46 for? The 3.73 in my car is not cutting it around town.
