Your welcome mang. I dig the direction your GS is going. But, Everytime I look at Post #1
, my eyes start bleeding. hahhaha
. 22"wheels and a lift kit... WTH? haha.
Idk your wheel specs/offset. But a 30mm Spacer is kinda huge imo. The spacer you pick will help you achieve the look you want. Just play around with all the sizes before you buy em. Hopefully there's a shop around your area that will let you try em all out first, so you don't get stuck with a spacer you don't want. Some things you should consider first. Like what look you want? Are gonna bring the wheels all the way out(flush)? You wanna tuck? What tire sizes, how low you wanna go with your Megans, Do you wanna cut the rear fenders, do you wanna pull the rear fenders, are you gonna roll the fronts? I'm on my 5th set of wheels and tires and my 3rd suspension, and it's this setup that makes me the happiest so far... haha
My buddy did a wing removal on his Black GS too. We just temporarily put some little black circle decals on the holes and it worked until he painted the whole car.

Oh no doubt on that man I hear you all the way. My offsets are actually 32 all the way around, so i'm probably just gonna go with a 20, because my boy had 40/38 offsets on his and was running spacers that put him in the low teens and I LOVED the stance, so i'll more than likely go with some 20MM adapters and call it a day. As far as where i'm going with the Megan's.. I'm dumping it. After seeing my boys roll with their GS's dumped there's just no way I can roll any higher man.
Me too bro! Hopefully Shawn and I can get it on tomorrow morning and I can update pictures asap.

Thanks.
Appreciate it man! I can't wait to get those bad boys on.

Annnnddd we're...... Back to the build!!
Me and my boy Shawn got in under the GS yesterday and knocked out the coils right in my garage. Parents were out for the majority of the day so I stole the space for the build. Here are some progress pics through the process;
Just starting out getting the hood propped up properly since mine drops and took off the front rims.
My boy Shawn gettin' in there and puttin' in work!
Picture of the coil sitting in there.
And another one.
Trunk guts removed getting ready for the rear install.
Shawn getting back in there and seeing what's up.
And now for the goodie pics. The coils installed and the GS body slammed! Enjoy.
Sorry the pics aren't the best, all I have is a iPhone 4 for pics.
Gotta have a picture of the clearance.
The GS is actually going to have to be raised about 1/4-1/2'' because my tires are rubbing the top of the fender.

Are those EZ streets? Looks very nice. Very similar to my LP's except that lower mounting portion is a bit beefier on the LP's.
Also; is that a spacer in your pics up there? or a stud conversion? kinda interested in if you do have spacers but then again your rears still look sunken?
