btw...I also removed the TEIN decals and the collegiate decal I had on my back window. I'm planning on removing the tint from the taillights too, give me a fresh new look.

I feel all naked now

OH YEA!

Definitely understandable. My next set is going to be some 18's for sure, I was just trying to make up for the 17" hate I got from the servos...which I still have and might put back on later down the road...

ZOMG thinking about the slammage on the 17's, lol

Where exactly is the wheel hitting when you were lower, and how low were you when it was hitting? I got the same wheels as you but in the black machined finish running 225/35's instead of 235/35's, I hope I wont have to roll the fronts, I dont mind rolling the back fenders.

It was only hitting when the wheels were turned, touching the top center of the tire.

The rear fenders were easy to roll...jack and a baseball bat (no joke).

Also on the Function and Form's how do I lower them if I want to make a small change? Do I adjust the upper rings or the bottom collar thing?

I don't want the springs to be less stiff, they are perfect right now. I'm gonna have to take pics of her dirty just to show you guys

refer to slushy's diy on how to lower/higher f&f . but basically , loosen gold rings on the bottom by turning them counter clockwise , then use the allen wrenches and turn the red rings on top clockwise.

^ oh yeah.. you can always use slushy's method.. but i got nasty blisters from doing that.. they hurt like a bitch. just make sure if you're twisting them with your hand, that you clean all the dirt out on the threads first and oil them for ease.

not much of a difference from what i've been hearing... the lipkit does cover part of your bumper, keep in mind. i've seen a few people on here that are lipkitless and they are pretty damn low ..

99-01 lip doesnt cover anything btw.

it bolts directly under the front bumper extending it 2-2.5" in the middle and 2.5-3" on the corners and sides.

Have fun getting those wisdom teeth out, I had mine out spring break last year.

The only good thing is that you get awesome meds, especially the shit they knock you out with. I was awake the rest of the day but don't remember a damn thing.

It could be worse though. I'm getting my tonsils out the 16th

I dont want to have much negative camber. What is the safest to go negative without greatly sacrificing tire life?

When I had it lower, it was rubbing here when I turned...It looked so sweet though, but I cant drive like that



...and how do you trim the liner on the front without sacrificing the stability of the fender? doesn't alot of dirt get in there?

pop those clips out and you can do it. haha.

here.. if you don't wanna cut it..


take the whole fender lining out and drop the car to your liking.. see how you like it.. you're still gonna have to roll in those little tabs that the clips go into.

Sounds good...two questions though

1. Is that what you did on yours? take them out?

2. What does that leave exposed then I take the lining out and how dirty does it get in there?
