Hey that's a nice is you have there. Looks really clean. How does the megan ez street coilover ride? Have you raise to car to see if the vibration goes away? I'm looking to buy the same coilover and probably not going to go that low. Do you think I'll have vibration if I drop 2"? Also where do I get vibration dampener? Thanks

question, when you measure from fender to ground, are you measuring on the outside like right above to wheel to ground? or are you measuring with the wheel off and the inside top of your fender liner to ground?

Running that tire setup with the 215s in the front do you get any weird vibrations? I did this set up for a bit and i got this vibration that wasnt as if the wheels were out of balance or anything. I knew it was from this specific Overall diameter setup. Because with 225s in the front everything is fine.

Also what are your offsets? it looks like you have room to space out more.
