Yes, I just had mine done by a friend. Firestone off Broadway and Hildebrand downtown. Justin is his name, only talk to him. Say Russell with the Acura TL told you to call. I got lifetime warranty, and got a on the money alignment. He can do lowered cars as well as he made some ramps. He drives a lowered 240 with a sr20det swap and is into cars as well.

Car lowered, and spacers installed. Had my rear wheel wells lips bent in 45 degrees so no rubbing there but I got an issue with a tab in the rear that holds the bumper and fender together that I am hitting. Not sure what to do with that but I need to do something soon. ![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

I plan to lower it a hair more once I fix the rubbing issue I have with a tab in the rears....not sure what I am going to do with that yet. I had the fender lip bent up and it's not the issue, but a tab that the fender and bumper attach too each other on with a screw. Ugh.

I went to Firestone off Hildebrand and Broadway. Justin is the guy I know personally and he did my car. Got lifetime alignment while Finsanto doesn't have lifetime. He has a lowered sr20det 240sx and knows how to adjust suspensions and lower cars properly while the guy at Fins wasn't sure how to adjust my parts when I questioned it.
Okay, so I went at those brackets.
I grinded the hole towards the back of the car so I could slide the white clip back more, then screwed the screw back into it. I then cut an angle cut / off the clamps so they went in pretty far. This SOLVED IT!
So now I lowered it another 1/4" in the back and it looks better. What do you guys think of the drop? Good or do I need to adjust it more?

I think it looks good; I don't believe a stock tire should tuck....I think lowering just makes a car look like it should be unless you go extreme i guess...
