I kicked up the front a couple of spins on the coils...and left the back the way it's been. Exactly match on where the fender sits on the side of the tire F and R. I was rubbing so much on the front I was eating up the tab that the screw that holds the bumper to fender. Not willing to drop back my camber either. Also, added 5MM spacer on rear. So I'm at +29/+24 F/R 18 x 9 with a 225 and still at -.5/-1 F/R Camber. I did relax bushings and adjust height so I'll be hitting an alignment some time soon.

I might add 10mm to rear, just 10 and only rear so it kind of matches front...but that's even maaaaay be
No way in the world spacers for front. That will make me think my car got sloweeeeerr

Hey Anil...where you been?
It's the RDX cover that everyone does...I just sanded and painted it.
Thank you!
Yeah, i don't know what the deal is with AZ and posting from Flick Her.
So focused on me didn't notice your move Tyler...congrats, man...new places can be fun!
So, I'm a green light for an alignment today. I went to lunch with 4 full size dudes in the car...me plus about 630 pounds...some slight rubbing, but nothing too bad. I'm getting an alignment at this height. Any lower and I'll be rubbing like crazy and again, not willing to lose that stellar camber.

Oh maaaaan that stance^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
See I love the stock A-Spec look
No aftermarket rims, no roof spoiler... pure A-Spec
Anil, do you know how much those A-Spec rims weight
Worth getting them?

J; I may be the odd one out but I dont think this new set up is "better" than your old one.
But i can confidently admit that it is equally as sweet as your old set up.
and i definitely can understand the appeal of the ride quality on 18's. Having been on my vossens for a while now i love the ride on my aspecs!
Win win win.

That was a guess that only bested "Buchanan" by a marginal internal vote. Guess I was wrong.
No Steven, we don't drink M-TH. Rule we have.

There should be a rule to ban rockstar if he can't post his pics properly.

Yeah J, I'm liking the look of the new wheels. I think someone already mentioned this (MEKO maybe?) but it compliments the other gunmetal/silver parts on the car like the sidemarkers, lower lip on the front aspec, etc. This was what I was aiming for when I bought the XXR 530s in chromium black.
And the blue as the accent color is still fantastic.

OCD ALERT
Please rotate the center cap ~45* counter-clockwise so the top of the A points straight down the spoke that splits ADVAN and RACING.
Its driving me fucking nuts.
Speaking of which, if I saw your car in person, I would totally nut on its trunk.
See ya next week!!

I wish that was true, brother...but I know you're a lie.
Okay, you'll be happy to know that I have Ginuwine Advan Racing center caps on their way currently and these are temporary. I'm not sure how I'll position them yet, but I'll keep that in mind. Since it has words on it, I'll probably run it with the spoke writing.
This trunk is meant for nutting, and that's just what you'll do...one of these days this Morgan will NUT ALL OVER YOUUUUUUUU
