Looks good. If you lower the front more, some of that natural camber (very little though) will pull the wheels in a bit more. Either way, it looks better than you were test fitting.
Yep. I think it'll be enough without a camber kit. Then I'll space the rear out and call it a day.
Do you happen to know if the rear studs can be hammered out without having to remove the hub? The forums seem to have mixed answers.

Lowered the front a bit more and it looks nice. I might come up a turn or two on the coils, add spacers in the back and call it a day. Some pictures from a drive today:
And hey, I'm from the midwest and new to Cali, so this is a nice change for me too But it's been raining for a month straight, so it hasn't been like this every day by any means haha
Thanks! It's almost there. 10mm spacers are on the way, and I plan to get the front windows tinted (since the previous owner saw it fit to skip those). Then it'll be good to go
Now that you've had a chance to sort things out, do you think you could have gone 245?
Thanks man!
Re: the 245s, the problem was, for the Conti Extreme Contact DWs, the next step up would have been 245/45, and I think that would have been a problem. It would have been SUPER close, or even rubbed (in the front). With the way mine are now, the ride is better than I expected, and rubbing is rare. Once in a while, the fender liner would rub. But it's worn in those areas now, so I rarely hear it. Once I added the spacers to the rear, the fit is exactly what I was looking for.
Yeah yeah yeah, says you and everyone else on the internet If you saw how much I scrape as-is, you'd understand that I'm already pushing it. I've got to do bags to go any lower, comfortably.

I feel you on this, and I don't even have coilovers. With Eibachs, my front splash guard/flap below the bumper sees way too much action down my driveway, parking garages, etc. Not to mention parking in front of curbs is always nerve wracking. That's a big reason why I haven't added those OEM lip pieces.
Your car looks great - white wagon + classy rims, gotta love it.
