I like it. I'd say lower it but you're an AWD guy so I know you already have that in mind along with the consequences. I agree that the mesh would probably look better black than white. Good job!

Lower it with RCA's or get the drive shaft spacer and drop it an inch. I would try the RCA's first.

Maybe paint the L black when you have the mesh painted. Think the black/white contrast would like nice and flow better with the mesh!

Cars coming along very nice

The axle spacers can be made by a machine shop, up in the suspension section theres a link for the measurements another member who went thru trial and errors to get it

I'm gonna try coilover and RCA's. IIRC a few members on here have tried RCA's w/ no issues. As well as a few members trying 1 inch drop fsport springs w/ no issues. So my theory is that RCA's plus one more inch of drop, should be fine. We'll see. Maybe someone will try it before I do. Not looking to spend the money until later on this year (read/spring summer).
