As for long term - I never had any issues. I see the guy who purchased my C32 driving around every so often and the car looks fine..
Awesome. Thanks. I think I will just go for it.

the gap was pretty even.

these were from 2006. i like how the bottom is flat compare to when you drop the rear too low.

I was on 19x10 et35 in that pic and with 265/30. shaving the tabs from the impact strip solved the rubbing issue i had.

275, Rollnn have done it on his c230k, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle since you will have to camber it out and loose contact patch regardless.
