should i wear pads?

with HR super sport and 19x9.5 rear 263/30?

i have seen some pics of rides raked and some with rides that are even..

however it seems to me like when the whole car is even.. the rear fender is lower because it's lower to start with so it gives the illusion the car is sagging in the back..

should i get 9mm or 5mm pads if i don't want the sagging fender look? I think to me it's more important to be fender level vs whole car level

thanks

i looked through your build thread.. when you put on the vossens did you have the 5mm pads already? or did you put it on when you put the springs on?

I'm on stock 17s with 5mm pads and eibachs and I have no regrets. Looks pretty good, not too aggressive, and given the size of the wheels, it helps definitely with the look.
