Thanks. I've actually got about 1 1/2 threads left on the Teins, so I'm still considering going a wee bit lower. But about the setup, not my ideal setup but for the deal I got, there was no way I could pass it up.

Thanks. I actually did shave the emblems only to find out that the whoever repainted the car, did an awful job on the trunk and left raised indentations of the emblems from before. So I put them back on. But I'm currently contemplating on keeping the mud guards on or not.

wow thats low, too low for me, at least here. I switched from S. Techs (1.8in drop) to H.Techs (1.2in drop). Much better ride quality and i dont scrape anymore.

yeah i remember, but still.... 2K miles? c'mon now... let's be realistic... tires would last at least 4-5K miles on like -5 degrees camber.

i saw it first hand. im sure the toe was off a lot too with no alignment/camber kit installed. in the past i have read that having bad toe alignment can be extremely detrimental to your tire life.
