here you go some close up wheel photos and debadged rear shots. Dynomite, PM me your name and address so i can send you this silicone lubricant for the camber kit. I think this will help a ton with the issue if you are still interested in trying to work that KMAC kit.

I have never had anyone in my back seat since the mods but I think it might depending on how much weight I in back, how low you go, and how stiff the suspension is set at. With that said, at the current ride height and damper settings, andthe stretched tires, I could easily put some subs and an amp and be ok. If I had 265 tires I don't know if it would clear. Put my rears are also 10" wide so it may be fine with a 9.5in wide wheel. But if u have a system in and frequently carry people in the back I could foresee problems. But that's the beauty of coilovers, relitively easy adjustablity. I'm sure you know this but make sure you get a coilover where you can adjust damper along with height.

they are very open.
i like it cuz it allows you do a lot of show stuff on the brakes. colors calipers, drilled/slotted rotors. if you do that, i think you car is going to look even better.
i also like the drop too lol

Not sure how much for the wheels but the badge and the grille should only cost a couple cans of paint. I'm getting the chrome trim done when I install the co's, I'll let you know how much it runs me. Altough you might even be able to DIY since it's black, silver is a little more difficult.
