not sure if I posted this in here or not, but its all over facebook so what the hell. a little teaser of whats to come next year. new wheels comming soon too. still on the fence on what to get.
dont mind the janky fitment. the baffles need to be trimmed back a bit since they are touchnig the crash bar. I did test fit it with out the crash bar and it was perfect OEM fitment. just didnt snag a picture of that.

yeah i'm on powertrix. i had BC's before as well and i'm pretty sure the suspension travel is not your problem. the BC's just don't go that low. the height adjustment for the rears on the BC's are not that adjustable. the fronts on the other hand go pretty darn low. if you wana go low, you're going to have to get another set of coilovers. hks, powertrix, stance, they all go pretty low

save weight, and its safer if done correctly (which this will be) the aftermarket crash bar will be there to protect more of the front of my car.(oil coolers, FMIC, etc, etc) for when I grow a pair put a cage in the car and drift competitively. for now though I am just going to trim it to fit seeing as its going to be a street car for a while still.

Yup I've heard the same complaint about BC coilovers in the rear, they dont drop for ****. This guy on IG tagged me in a pic showing his rear bc coils maxed out and they were barely tucking thread on an 18" wheel with only moderately stretched tires.
I hate to derail, but I need input- 18x10 +18 with 245/40/18's, HKS Hipermax RS coilovers, how much work does this sound like? I'm thinking fender rolling MAYBE pulling, tab shaving, fender liner deletion/modification, some negative camber... I'm not looking to go as low as alot of you guys, nor do I want absurdly stretched tires and mad negative camber. I feel like my goal its achievable, as I've seen more aggressive setups on here (i.e. Munchie's car when he had the RPF1's, not to mention his current setup and he's lower than I plan on going).

Thats not too aggressive at all, you can get away with just a roll (no pull) but you will have shave your rear tabs for sure. I ran 275/35 on a 19x10 +20 two summers ago and didn't have to pull, had madddd camber though.

He was running 18x10 +15 w/245's iirc.
rolled, shaved n' cambered. Gonna have to get rid of the plastics too.
Btw, 245's on a 10" wide wheel is an absurd stretch in regards to function.
