Looks really good. Do you rub at all and did you do any gender work for that kind of fitment?

Thanks bro. I'm on cup kit, I don't drive this low, but I can. When I am this low the front rubs alot, but my tires are too wide. I need to step down to a 225 Instead of the 235 im running. The rears are fine, just barely clears. No fender work, just shaved and rolled.

Nice to know I'm planning on static but not as low and I night wheels with tires sizes 225/35 front and 255/35 rear. No planning to go too low probably just no gap.

I'll jump on the "got parts from Kumquatism" bandwagon

Toms rear installed! My rear is now complete (just need to black out my plate frame!)

No longer the current state of my car (pre rear lip), but this is one of my favorite pictures of my car.

I'm lowered on BC coilovers extreme drop, 16k front 12k rear, and besides the mild engine vibration no issues at all. I also have the F-Sport sway bars with Figs adjustable endlinks, My tire rolling diameter are almost identical. So no issues

Sweet!
Sounds like you knew what you were doing before you lowered it
I've felt that mild engine vibration at stock height and read other members experiencing the same. Nothing major to worry about according to other members and as well as my mechanic.

Yeah I've been told the same thing as well. and i've also read guys having wobble on the steering but thats because the cars needs to be aligned again after being lowered. yean i tend to spend most of time time reading and searching for solution to certain problems. and as far as running a stagger setup. its not big issue as long as your tire rolling diameter are close enough. High valued cars running AWD system run stagger setup all the time with no issue.

Yeah bro best guys in the market for custom parts. i know the competition is huge out there with custom parts being produced. buy Figs IMO make their parts from scratch. no cutting and welding OEM these are authentic parts constructed from solid metal and aluminum parts. i'm waiting on Mike from FIGS engineering to finish my One-of shorter steering Knuckles. they are going to be made from scratch and 20mm shorter than the stock OEM steering knuckles in our cars. this will allow me to drop my car about another inch without the UCA banging the top of the wheel well
