    Dropped my car

    well finally did it, dont have pics yet but will soon, rears are tucking, front has bout a finger gap. Now i know rollatuner had the same thing and to be honest, not a big fan of the rears going further down than the fronts, kinda makes it look as if the car is not balanced. Anyways ill have to look at it carefully again since it was raining and didnt get a good look at it. Someone told me you can stretch the fronts as in get lower width on the same wheel. I dont wanna spend more money lookin for tires and stuff so im thinin of raisin the back up a tad bit to make it look even, i guess there aint no more suggesstions since thats my onl choice, but rollatuner has that look, rear being lower than the front

    I don't think many places would sell you coilovers individually for you to do that. In the racing world, FWD cars have slightly more gap in the front than the rear. It's normal.

    i know, i would buy the whole set and sell the rears, or save them if i decide to use them and just sell my whole tein set.

    k sports coilovers, these are adjustable, the whole reason why i got em in the first place

    thats what i have, coilovers

    ummm wrong move, completly different spring rates and such back and forth is a disaster

    so i took pics today

    Replied to your PM. I wouldn't suggest too much negative camber. You'll screw up your tire wear.

    then what's the issue? just adjust the front so they're lower or raise the rears.

    Mine rubs in the rear with load in the back and when i hit uneven pavement. Solution anyone?

    Front is stiffer than a rock won't budge no matter what i do. The rears have -1.1 camber currently.

    Car looks great man. Cant wait to put mine in. Just waiting for nicer weather and a day at work where we are slow so I can use my air tools. Im so afraid of lowering mine because of so many steep driveways and big potholes here from the plows. But thats why I have another car to beat around in :D

    Don't bring it to a shop. They'll overcharge you. You can either rent them from certain online places like Tirerack/Discount Tire or some other local places for 50 bucks (collateral 250 down payment needed). You can also buy your own fender rolling tool for around 200-300 bucks. OR... you can do what I did. It's free. You grab a baseball bat(preferably wood), a floor jack, and roll it yourself. Vamp's DIY should explain all the details. :D
