I know... The front calipers looks to small on my wheels

I still have a few things in line. Hopefully the BBK won't be too far behind in my list

I have the Megan EZs for a little over 3K miles now and couldn't be more pleased considering these are budget coilovers. I was impressed on how comfortable it is the day I had it installed.

I don't have any plans of going really low and my car is mainly used for daily driving so the EZ suits my needs well.

Thanks

Wheels are Concept-One CS-10 in matte graphite

I'm lowered on Megan coilovers. I don't have the exact measurement on how much I lowered it but I made it to where there's no fender gap. I can still stick a finger between the fender and tires since I have a conservative offset.
