So ET +67 is what HRE says for the rear. The rubbing was due to the inner fender liner - which we adjusted so it rubs no more. I have some more preview quickie pics to come. Ended up dropping by 5mm in front, none in back.

So some more preview shots... Some notes:
1. Lowered front only 6mm... cause that's all it went. It was already pretty low to begin with - but the 6mm was just enough. I'm not a slammed type of guy - and I do plan to track, so I didn't want it to be sitting on the tires. You can barely fit one finger in there - even though it may not look it.
2. Rear I left untouched for a few reasons. A - it already looked perfect without the need to drop it further. B - there was some rubbing on the fender liner on the inside - I highlighted it in yellow ovals. We massaged these, so dropping would have exacerbated it. No rubbing now.
3. From the rear shot you can see the 325s look sweet! But they do take up real estate and that fender liner had to suffer some.
4. Custom Alignment in Mountain View is a great shop. Car right before me was a GT3RS getting their custom coils adjusted then aligned.
Overall, I'm extremely happy. Can't wait to wash it up, and try to take some proper pictures.

That drop really completes the look. So tempting. How bad is it driving around town? Are you scraping the front end at all?

So far no scraping at all. I mean, its not slammed, it just looks like it should coming from the factory. The fronts are a little more conservative. 20x9.5 et +19.

Actually it hooks up better on a launch... a lot less wheel spinning. The tires are actually really comfortable compared to the Dunlopp Sport Maxx race tires. I figured they would be.
