hmm, i didn't want to do that because i really wanted to have a spare in there as its illegal not to have one, and it causes the vibrations of the compressor to be louder? since it'll be on the frame of the car? if that makes sense?

Nice wheels... I'd say if you're hard parking, lay frame cuz you can lol. When you're rolling, no more than tucking tire imo.

If you aren't gonna air it out, shouldn't you go back to being static? haha

You should try to even out the camber between the front/rear... either way it looks great!

Unfortunately no updates from me except this photo! haven't had time to drive the car since starting full time hours! still not sure if i should continue with the mods or not! something inside me tells me to move on!

Thanks for the kind words above! highly appreciate it guys!
