Wow! That's going to look sweet!
If you guys do organize a Kingston meet next spring, maybe a couple of us from Montreal will attend, would love to see your car personally
Good luck!

Thanks! Ya, we'll definitely get one organized. If we have it in Kingston area, we can get the Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal people all involved. Would be ridiculous!! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Ready for paint! ...and by the looks of these pics, I better order some coilovers soon! Not sure why the gap looks so large, might just be the angle but I haven't seen it in person. Almost there

It does seems high, but at least you got the offset right as they look nicely flush!! You wheels are Rennen M10 right? I believe they are the same wheels as member Fung63 (Tim).
Order the coilovers now & ask them to swap it for you & adjust them in case you have rubbing.

Ya, Rennen M10s color matched Tenorite grey with custom MB billet caps. Ya, I think springs might not drop enough with the H&R .75" drop so coilovers might be necessary.

Coilovers are definitely a better choice if u want to go all out & adjust the height.
I'm happy with the height of my H&R springs, but I wouldn't risk it on ur project as u haven't seen the end result on other BS conversion with just the springs.

What size tires did you go with on the rear?
Just to give you an idea on the spacing. I have the KW set up and the rear springs are bottomed out in order to bring it down enough and I have 345-30-19's on the rear. I'm not sure if the opening is larger or just further up in the fender but we ended up with a huge gap on mine also. Just bring it down with adjustable suspension and you'll be good to go.

Again, good infos from Keith!! Springs won't be enough then, coilovers is a must. Ur tire size should be fine Craig, it's all about offset.

I must add Keith is running 19's , u are on 20's therefore u got a lower profile tire.
If they sit flush (correct offset), the gap won't be as bad with any coilovers set to the "lowest".

You should be fine with adjustable coilovers. . 
I was able to bring it down but this was bottomed out.
We brought the car down about 1-1/4" in the rear and 1" in the front.
