nice!!! may I suggest you buy camber arms for the rear. The Fronts will be HELLA flush because the front wheels are pushed out more than the ISx50's and I am running a slightly more aggressive setup. You may need a custom front camber kit. I wouldnt suggest the SPC ball joint if you plan to slam the car as that will result in a lot of knocking. The SPC joint is alot taller than the oem one.

Cant wait to see your build

As many will agree with me on this, please don't ruin the F by doing this . It takes a great car and make it look like a $20,000 pos ricer. If you are going to do that, you mine as well throw a huge wing on the back for an extra 50hp while you are at

i know my build is gonna be either love it or hate it, mainly hated here, its pretty conservative on this forum not knocking on anyone or anything. Im building the car for me and i happen to be into the "stance scene" so ill be the very few isf here to go for crazy fitment
