So I'm a bit excited :P
Picking up some evo BBS rims this morning. for a grand total of......$600. Granted 2 of them have a bit of curb rash, but honestly, for that price I'd rather fix and paint the rims than grab the XXR 530's I had on order. Will post some pics once I grab em!

Heads up. Just picked up a used set of BC Coilovers for dirt cheap...and when I say dirt cheap I mean cheaper than the $480 that I paid for my BBS'. Luckily they check out mechanically as well. Will update with pics once installed, but may be a bit since I have 1 last thing to fix on warranty tmr before I almost certainly void it :P

Coilovers on. SUV Stance gone.
I **MIGHT** go lower. However for me right now this feels like the perfect height (the 5 speed bumps in my neighbourhood agree with me as well). and god does it ride so much better than stock....

Thanks! I had a pretty aggressive roll on the rears done just In case I ever wanna go lower. Have had no rubbing with about 2 fingers worth of gap. Fronts are no problem as well though I've got about -1.50 degree's or so of camber (don't have the alignment sheet on me). I can say rears would definately be rubbing all over the place without a roll with the evo wheels though. I was rubbing occasionally at stock height with no roll

Did you have to take the bumper off to remove the lower mesh grill (to show the IC)? Some reason I can pop the bottom of the mesh out but I can't get the top portion out. Yes, I removed the two center mid screws.
