Yeah? What's the problem, I had intentions to rid the wheel gap but keep it stock looking and that's what was done. I'm happy with it.

Thanks Steven A-Spec is the next thing on the list.
It's only been 2 days so I want to ride around with it like this for now, maybe lower in the future. As of now I'm not rubbing over bumps, sharp turns or anything. Didn't have to roll fenders either.
Offset on the box was fudged, they are indeed a +30, otherwise I would have taken them off the car and my heart would be broken.
And I'm really surprised nobody has asked yet...
Rims are: 18x9 +30 Forgestar F14
Tires are: 235/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO
Coils are Tein Street Advance. We measured from the bottom of the threads on the coil so 2.9" (fronts) being the lowest, we're 1.425" from the bottom. Just about the middle which is damn good IMO. Same with the rears but I believe those max at 2.6".
Thanks everyone for the comments

Yeah it fits nicely.
Tyler, slamming is something I'm not looking to do. Causes problems and I want to keep the luxury. I'll leave the bumping and grinding to you

Tyler you on fiyaah today !!!
Austin, couple things, if you wanted to keep the luxury/higher ride height, why didnt you go for springs (just curious).....also if you wanted coilovers, why not the basics and why the advance where you can adjust the dampening?
again so that we are clear, am not asking you to mod your car a certain way, its your car and your money....am just curious to know why you took the route you did

I wanted them to be adjustable because I know I'll be playing with the settings a lot. Springs were not going to cut it
And it's not a higher ride height
I told everyone I was not looking into slamming it. I was going for a slight drop and that's it.

Don't believe him Austin! He's trying to Brown Man sabotage you!
I do agree with the why coils over springs if you aren't planning on slamming it.

Oh God. Here we go...
Coils are only meant to be maxed out
Tyler, you just need to STFU and get airbags.

Austin makes sense then....
as i was telling you over the PM's earlier, I went with the Tein basics because I wanted to almost tuck tire...and wanted ride adjust-ability....recently switched to ISN N1's as I wanted Preload adjustment and Dampening adjustment....
in the end, if you are happy with what you got and like the car that way, thats all that matters

Yeah I've had them on for 2 days. Hop off me deek.
As for now I'm keeping it the way it is.
And yes, I'm very happy with them.

Good thing I'm not a fan of concave!

Thank you Morgan
I think once it has the A-Spec it'll make it look a lot different.

Why'd you have to show me that concave forgestar pic?! Dammit iWant. Car looks great, Austin. Everyone secretly loves your car, it's just more fun to bust your balls than admit it.
