I have RSR Coils. I was not rubbing when I lowered the car I was probably at a RSR half down spring level maybe a little lower. If I kept going down it would eventually rub on some dips, but hardly. The Ichiba's in the rear were 20mm shaved them to 18mm for the clearance.

Nice and clean paint job man!

Working on next small project (little details go along way). Got a set of blank center caps and painted them yellow plus ordered Lexus logo decals in black. Thinking this will all tie together well with the brake calipers. Got to let these dry over night then apply decals.

Just a picture of the caliper (again) to see what I am trying to do. Thoughts/opinions on what this might look like?

The inspiration, I'm a former Cobra owner so I still follow the SVT Cobra scene and this car is one of favorites.

Center caps are done! Won't be able to put them on today, expecting rain and I live in the downtown area of my city and don't have a garage. But pretty happy with how how these look so far!

Spoiler Alert! Such a nice day so decided to put them on. I dig em'! If the weather is nice tomorrow going to change out the center caps. Next to do is side skirts from Air Flow Dynamics and that might be it for awhile.
