ya its turning out nice.... were just trying to figure out where the perfect height would be... im saying a finger gap would be good. the kinetix camber caster kits def helped as far as adjusting, and the alignment guy still has his work cut out for him. im prob gonna stay there when he does it so we can really get it perfect the way i want it. as far as putting people in it, me and the mechanic sat in the back and it litterally didnt budge. and we have the dampening set at conservative 15 clicks from 33 clicks soft. the front A arms really did the trick to and now i think i do need spacers for the front.
if anyone has any suggestions for good spacers im all ears..........

as far as the lugs im hoping jav from vossen can chime in and help me out! i think some black lugs would look real sick. just dont know what size lugs i would need.

JAV if you refer to the pics with the lugs youll see the front lugs sink in and the rears are sticking out like crazy!!! any suggestions? what size are they?

jarena2104,

If you don't mind, let us know how much negative camber your alignment guy dials in on the rear.

After seeing your lowered pics, I may have to reconsider the CV1 wheel again, with the 285 tire. I like the no bulging wheel look as you have.

Thanks,
Allan

ya that was a major concern of mine to. im glad that i went with the tire i did...... i will post up a full review as well as all specs and alignment numbers after i get done with it tomorrow. that way anyone who wants to do this PROJECT will have a good guideline to lower there car. remember i also have a complete camber caster and toe arms as well as the coilovers.
