Put on a coilover suspension and drop your car 1.5" all around. It's a modest drop so you won't have to roll your fenders. You only do that when you start getting very aggressive with your stance and the hella flush look. You have nothing to worry about.

With the kit, the front lip will be slightly lower but everything else will be stock height. Just watch for curbs when parking. Nothing else to fear.

To add- my car is dropped about 1.5" all around. Ive never had a need to roll my fenders and would never do it anyway. You're just asking for rust if you live in a winter climate area.

I also have the A-Spec kit and have no issues.

I'm so close to digging out the old post from TacoBalls calling me out on pushing for this car...

Not quite yet, but once you see it and first-hand report how exactly right I was, I'll go find it.

My buddy was very adamant that the car is MINT. He even told me don't play games with this guy. It's a fantastic deal AS IS. Don't be disrespectful. For him to go that far as a car guy, a guy who has bought and sold many cars, it meant something.

In some of the other pics that I didn't post the interior doesn't even look used. I bet there's never been someone in the rear seats and barely someone ever in the passenger seat.

Don't be an idiot. This is the FIRST thing you should do. Unless you prefer rock chips from winter abuse, a year from now.

If you want to keep this car mint and keep it for a long time... get it done.

Good? I won't lie McDonalds still has the best fries and the big mac sauce is awesome. I usually get a plain double quarter pounder with cheese and big mac sauce. But that's like four times a year... Lol

If that kind of food is a must and I have a choice...I'll go to Wendys.

One of my favorite foods is the McMuffin...I can literally eat it everyday and all day...

Even though I order it dry (so, without butter or margarine), I still keep myself to about 2-3 times a year of eating it. When I do, I usually order 2-3 of them.



I did at one time eat 12 in one sitting...but, this was during my college years when I could eat non-stop and was perpetually hungry.

^ROFL! A dozen? Jesus!

I like the McGriddles too. But I usually just order the buns not the sandwich. Eat like 4 of them.

Yeah, well...that was back when I was 20 and that's nearly 18 years ago. No pics really. But, I do remember when my buddy and I placed the order (we ordered 24 as he could eat too)...and the lady asked if it was to-stay or to-go...we said to-stay.

She looked behind us to see where the people was and was -ing.


As I'm sure you can relate as a , there are those -peeps who have bottomless pits...I happened to be one of those when I hit my teens and 20s...I could usually eat 3 medium pizzas without blinking.

And I can say I've been thrown out of my share of AYCE places because they were closing and I was still, trying to have all I can eat...

Red Lobster used to have an AYCE special for snow crab...I think my table held the record for the year of 104 snow crab halves ordered.

Sekrit to also prepping for big eatoffs...drinking lots of water the day prior and ensuring you do not pre-eat before the supposed big meal.

Worked great for me. I've beaten gwai-ros who weight twice as much as me in eat-offs before. For some reason, my eating capacity seems to increase with hotpots...I can go all night back then. Even more so if there's heaps of seafood.
