Thanks man
I was thinking of getting a 10mm spacer for the rear as well, but then I'd have to buy new bolts for the rears again too.... I'll consider it after I put my camber kit and see how it looks once the wheels are aligned. Its kinda running negative right now.
Thanks bro
yeah I'm running a little stretch on them. front 215/45/17 rears 245/40/17

just some hubcentric ones I got from a guy online. I had his 3mm ones when I had my cls wheels on and haven't had problems with those, build quality on them is solid. I'll sell the spacers with the bolts for 55 shipped, the bolts were 35 alone. LMK man

just got rear camber kit in, new spacers and lug bolts coming in Monday. Flushing my brakes and putting ATE Super Blue brake fluid also next week. Had it previously in the car but I didnt have anymore when I did my SS brake lines so I'm going to flush it again with the good stuff. I prefer super blue over Motul because you can actually mix super blue with other brake fluids.
Need to call my muffler shop guy and see how much he'll do my exhaust for. So maybe next weekend I'll have my exhaust done

installed my camber kit this morning... excellent kit, I highly recommend picking them up if you lower your car. Install took about 1 1/2 hrs, would've gone faster but I was doing a little trial and error on what would be the fast way to remove the OEM part. Once I got it figured out, the other side took only 25-30 mins. The 12" length from center hole to center hole was right on for a good alignment that Mel recommended. I just got my akebono pads, 10mm spacers for the rears, and lug bolts for the rear in, so those will be going on tomorrow. After the alignment the rear looks pretty flush but I'm going to push the rears out anyways. Heres some pics of the new alignment.
More pics to come tomorrow after spacers in the rear installed.
