I think I may do 15mm in the rear and 10 in the front. :/
Been looking at my fitment and since the cars getting boring I need to do stuff to make her fresh to my eyes again.

So maybe his 4x15mm adaptecs for $150 is a good deal?
Are your wheels offset staggered for the rear difference?

Hmm hope I'm reading everything correctly. I don't think I'll need a fender roll with 15mm all around with my drop/wheels.
Think I'm gonna do it.

They might cut you a break if you order 4 at once.
If you order from them, they are made for you. In other words, every single order is made. They want to make sure it's done correctly and inspected after they finish them. That was a huge plus for me, which is why I went with them. I've had them on my TL for 2 years and I'm ocd about these things. I inspect them every single time the wheels come off. Everything is solid.

I meant there is a set of (4) 15mm adaptec v2 in the black market right now for $150 shipped. So that IS a good deal.
