It will be stiffer but not too bad. Plus you can adjust the dampning on the BC's so if you dont like it just turn them all the way down to 1.

that looks like more than enough clearance for a bbk and i dont even have a spacer on it. does anyone know any good spacers? companies i should check?

Jarena,
you freak out easily. Glad you got over it. Lug nuts should be 12 x 1.25, the ones provided look like oem, just like you i was provided with ones like my oems but bought aftermarket lug nuts to propely secure itself. as well for spacers it has been discussed in other threads not sure in your threads but it goes

project kics>>H&R>Ichbia

it all depends on your cash flow and if you are willing to spend the money.

Looks awesome, what a transformation on wheel tuck after the drop! It was fun experiencing this with you, although all my fingernails are pretty much gnawed off and bleeding now! If anything, I just loved listening to the New Yocka accent on the dude in the vid!

hahahah ya that was donnie he has a hard core ny accent.... believe me no one gnawed off there nails more than me. but im glad i had everyone to lean on in my panic moment. and yes i want spacers for the front at least. i think with the 285 rear tire its flush enough. and i dont want to much neg camber. but it will be fun to see how the alignment guy pulls it close to spec

also not change the subject but when i was under the car i happened to notice just how small the rear sway bar is, and then i went over to the front and noticed just how big the front one is.... i think i know now why they only make rear ones for our car. the fronts look very sufficient. here is a pic if anyone is wondering.


and then there is the rear that looks like a little twig


back on track here is some pics of the wheels and space i got going on... ill clean it up tomorrow after the alignment and try to post pics and vid (especially some rolling on the freeway ) and anything anyone else wants to know let me know. im gonna do a full write up with prices and what this cost.



im gonna strap down the gt spec braces underneath as well as in the engine bay and then ill start up another post on the full FI exhaust, headers, hfc, and the akebonos next. thanx again to everyone

Front tires kinda look too thick imo as also being an owner of CV1, but other than that, i really like it.
Great progress.
Your car is pretty sexy. Did you get perfect height for rear to fit 2~3 ppl and not rub?
