its probably too late now but be careful when rolling the rear. the screw holes might cause dimples while you roll.

actually it is too late but i appreciate the concern! both sides were starting to dimple but i caught it before it was noticeable! i wish i could of rolled them further! i also didnt get them pulled because of fear of the quarters buckling! if the dimples are a result of the screw holes, would it be safe to pull the fenders?

I would pull the fenders front and rear then that thing would look really sick.

thanks and i agree 100% i was going to get the rear fenders rolled at a bodyshop but i decided to save the pennies for when i get the entire car painted all at once! right now im trying to get some camber arms from Elite Auto to make the rear presentable to say the least!

this is how it sits right now i have had several people ask me what kind of airbag setup i was running.. sorry for the garage pic! my wife owes me some good shots LOL

so right now im trying to come up on some Nasiga camber adjustable upper arms for the rear and i am officially in love with the VLENE existence kit! i am moving in about 1-2 months so i wont be ordering the kit right now but its definitely coming!

priorities are:
1. finish stance!
2. acquire kit
3. paint
4. engine/interior (not sure yet)

haha air bag? the car isn't that low enough and the wheel isn't even tucked into the fender. but damn how is the ride with the stretched tires in the back? got to be careful of scraping the lip. yikes.

thats what i said the car isnt low at all! the ride is surprisingly stockish the coilovers have dampening adjustments! i actually stiffened it a bit over the stock softness!
