Looks clean but needs spacers. It's more hellasunk than hellaflush.

Nice ride height, but not aggressive. Steps in the right direction though

So I put this in the will it fit thread also but I think this is a better place for the question.

Only thing I don't really want to do is pull the fenders.

Im wanting to run some 18x9 or 9.5 probably around +15 to +20 with 225/45 tires, ive looked through quite a few pages and I figured with this set up I would need the fenders rolled for sure just not sure if id have to run much negative camber or not, anyone know if I would?

Also I see most people are running 40 series tires with 225s is a 45 gonna be too tall? I just have some stock tires I want to use up.

Stock tire height + low + low offset = problems

Sorry, off topic for a sec
is that the evoR front lip? how is the fitment? and how is it holding up to your driving conditions considering your very low. Im looking into the same lip.

fitment is very snug.

i took off the stock air dam cause mine was broken so i had to do a custom installation but it's holding up well.

bottom is scratched to hell tho and i'm having a bit of trouble securing it in the middle because of all the scraping, but i'm working on a fix.

overall a great piece.

forget about communication with evo-r tho... they sold it to me and then peaced out.

Link to the thread? I imagine lots of nissan, vw, and miata guys would be touching on the driveway's bottom. My friend's stock Jetta gli comes very close to his.

Thread just needs more aggressive cars. It seems to just be the same people, thus thread is dying cause we know who belongs. As soon as this place stops with the rain and T-Storms, i will be posting some pics up with my driveway and others.
