word of advise when doing the rear fenders. Make sure ask them to radius the rears to show more wheel. Also pay attention to how the rear wheel sits on the rear bumper and fender if it is that wide. The way the rear was design is what i dont like about this car. It is not perfectly centered to the rear fender well, it is set more towards the rear.

im actually not going to radius the rear, i personaly don't like radius look, id rather have a raked stance. and my rear RIM used to hit the rear fender all the time, but with the body work that should alliviate the problem

I think the raked look on coilovers done right is a killer look. But i cant stand how when i am dumped i cover alot of the wheel face which is why i opted to go and radius the fender. Just looks alot cleaner when im dumped.

I been thinking about going with a phantom cup kit just to see how the ride feels and the ease of setting the camber up.

I know what you are talking about when it comes to budget. I am trying to sell my car in order to buy a bigger home for the family but no one solid has come through. So i am squeezing every nickel and dime now to help purchase that new home.

They sure do. The house i am looking at has a living area of 1800 sq ft 2 car garage 3 bed and 3 bath for the price tag of 600k. Im looking at mortgage payments of $3900 there goes modding cars for a few years but its worth it in the end.

Not bad considering you will pay 1million in NYC for a 1 Bedroom apartment, 850sqftm, 1 bathroom and maybe, just maybe a shared garage
