shoot I dunno how much I pulled it since I did it once before. But I did at least a good maybe 7-10mm more. I basically dont have the the flat part anymore on the fenders its all arched.
So I got the rear dialed in to my liking. I got bored and put some negative camber on and allowed me to keep the 5mm spacers in the rear so now the rear is at +15 offset now! so i'm going to be running +15 all around now. heres some pics of how the rear ended up.

hahaha thank tru... I have to lower the front now, but I'll do that all once the tires come in so I can see how it looks before I adjust. hopefully the fluted and eccentric bolts come in soon too.

I was actually messing with the struts while lowering it more and decided to loosen the bolt where the eccentric bolts are going, the bolt that holds the strut to the hub and found out I can mess with my camber without the eccentric bolts!!! So all you need to do is loosen the 2 bolts that hold the bottom of the strut to the hub and the top bolt that hold the strut as well to the hub. Dont remove the bolts just loosen them some. With them loose you can actually push the upper part of the hub/rotor back and forth, maybe its just my coilovers design, I'll look at my OEM ones and see if it has designed the same way. But with that I can adjust my camber so i just pushed them all the way till the bolt stopped and tightened the bolt down, then tightened the other two down. So now my fronts fit perfectly now and I can lower it even more.

AND BOMB GOES THE DYNAMITE!
Going to lower the front even more now since I got my front camber going. Thought dropping it 1/2" would do the job but it didnt so gonna drop it another 1/2" it and should look even with the rear.
