final measurements for height - about 3/4 of the way down now on HAS Springs with ~1.5% increased tire diameter and 25 7/8 front fender to ground and 26 1/4 rear fender to ground. slight forward rake. Springs ride super well - very pleased.

i have ordered rear flics and new center caps. also playing around with a wheel refinish

Were you able to get the alignment done? If so, how’s the camber at that height?

TY! i am so indifferent about them. they are more interesting than stock so they will stay. Don't think i'd even run them if the car weren't black

Does $150 per pair sound high for spacers? The shop I called told me. That includes the installation and the parts. 10mm in front and 12mm in back. Not lowering.

$110/set is what i got from supreme. not all 10/12mm spacers work with the hubs on these cars either.

Okay, so not bad.

They told me they would need to see if what they carry will work. If not, they will order what I need.
