its sick man, I've always wanted to do an SC build project, but was always a little worried with the aristo and the reliability of them. I think after I finish with my current build Im gonna tackle a SC or an FD rx7 project.

Know what you mean by the step lip making it look smaller. Because the face of the wheels are 17" with the lip being 1". Reason why I want to make my car lower to eliminate more wheel gap

Very easy to install. Just turn your wheel, unclip the fender liner, and theres 2screws in the back holding the side marker in. Unplug and install. Easy.

Your car looks sick with the coilovers!

Are your tires rubbing now that you're that low? Or are your fenders rolled?

I rub on sharp turns, fenders arent rolled. there isnt much to roll on these cars, maybe as much as your finger nail haha. I could go lower but its my daily so I dont want to worry about bumps and ramps even more.

I have a photoshoot ready soon as well. Ill post it when we are done editing pictures.
