No issues thus far (knock on wood)...just in case anybody wanted to know. This thread was a great help to me since I was looking for a quick and easy mod that would make a big difference in the looks department (IMO).
What size tires front and rear?

Reason being is I am running 225/255 Star Specs on AP2V1s and I am also lowered on Espelir's. Would love to be able to install the spacers you have and not have to make any other modifications. Plug and play.

Guys

Am going for skunk springs with a 2" drop.

Q1: I think I need 25mm spacers in the rear as 20mm wont clear the recess in my V3 wheels. Correct?
Q2: Will I need my rears rolled with the 2" drop and 25mm spacers? Tab relocated?
Q3: How sunk will my fronts look? What spacers could I go for without arch rolling

Hoping you can all help, as Im pretty certain on keeping my V3's now.
Not sure if the regular v3's are the same as the CR wheels, I'd have to assume they are, in that case you'll need to run 25mm anything smaller and the stubs will hit the inside of hub. You'll need to roll the rear, relocate the tab, and roll the front a bit.

Thanks man, looking good there. Shame so much work is needed. Has anyone considered grinding the OEM bolts down a mm or so, as I think thats all its out if using 20mm. Its like 22mm would work I guess a similar amount of arch work would be need so not much point

Its not all that hard actually. A friends helped me out with the roll and it was pretty simple and everything turned out good for me. I did consider taking a few mm off but in the end choose against it. If you go 20 mm you'll still have to do the same work.

First of all, after reading 35 pages of posts I've learned a lot useful info.
But I would like to request some pictures of spacers for STOCK suspension setup.
So far I can only see SS04's buddy's NFR running 20mm/15mm on page 16 #395.
Would like to see some flush setups on stock shocks.
Thanks in advance.

Um, I think a OEM suspension flush look is not bad. At least better then stock offset looking IMO
and if anything goes wrong I won't become this



Right?
