Here are more photos for you guys:

"Looks like I finally get to join this club.

Drop: Tein S-Techs (Stock Struts)

Front: Stock camber specs and 15mm spacer

Rear: 2.5 degree camber and 20mm spacer."













"I went on a nice hard drive through the hills after the install and no rubbing at all but keep in mind I'm not really that low."

damn, i wish they made 19mm spacers! anyways, what time will you be ordering? i'm sitting on the fence at 50/50 right now...

what is the bore size? i assume its the same between the 15mm and the 20mm?

i know it's extra, but arel you guys getting hub-centric rings as well?

I just talked to him about hubcentric rings. He said with kics you order them separately according to our hub sizes and they fit on with the spacers. They are machined billet aluminum and are around 35 for a pair.

He also said if I get 4 or 5 guys that want spacers we can get a better price.

I have him calling kics and looking more into the hubcentric rings to confirm.

IMO the rings aren't really necessary. OEM lug nuts center the wheel naturally. And it's debatable whether or not the rings actually remove pressure off the lugs.

yeah, i know i need to get spacers, but don't know which ones since i don't want to roll the fenders nor relocate the bumper tab (15mm vs 20mm) or even go too negative of a camber. i think i'm currently at -1.8 for the rears...

it was always a trade off between going conservative and looking good. argh!@#!!

I think with 20mm you will have to roll. But with the 15mm you might not have to. Considering that your only running 245.

If your concerned about rolling fenders or relocating your bumper tab. Jordan (chowbot) is holding a fender rolling tech day at his place next week. There will be guys that have experience rolling and relocating bumper tabs.

Hakkaboy, how low are you anyway? The pictures i posted above (dropped on s-techs) had no issues with rubbing.
