When I first put my coils on I had it tucking as well and I would have left it, but I was rubbing all over the place. I poured concrete by my garage to reduce the entry angle and I have it so perfect that it does not touch at all when I enter my garage alone, but with one extra person in the car..sorry exhaust

i rubbed my exhaust the the first night home. car isnt that low now. I couldnt put a piece of paper between the street and the exhaust. The rear sits perfect now I just need to get the front fenders done so I can lower it back and level the car out. Need someone that can roll as I cant trim the fronts. Last place I went to have my fenders done the paint got messed up so I fear this but I posted in the 3gen and that seems to be what a few have done. Im going to see if my guy that installed can do it now that I can see the pics of what needs to be done. I only have a few weeks left to get it done so its ready for winter

Once I have this done I will post more pics. I didnt take any pics but the guy that installed them has a few pics on his phone.

^ I have "fat" tires

255/30-20 up front and 295/25-20 rears....

Its crazy how this worked out as I had NO intention to lower the car this way. The rear just fits talk about luck. The fronts are perfect but I need to find someone to mod the fender a little so I can drop the car back down. I was scared to drive and either I got the thumb up yesterday or the finger for doing 2 mph around turns.

I had to have the guy come to my house to raise it up it was pushing it. fun part will be getting back to where we had it as it takes sooooo much time to get them perfect.

If I can find someone that can do it this weekend I want to knock it out so I can get the car ready for some pics.

if not then I will have to be skyjacker on the front for a while

what you see in the pics is how it "should" look when I am done. All depends on the front fenders and how much play I will have. If it wasnt for my driveway I would go just a tad lower.

wonder how it will be in the snow so low

^you have to turn the bottom. Not as easy as your set up IMO. But for the $$ they seem to be good. I just need to get my front fender done but not sure who I can trust to do it??

How did the exhaust install go?

What fender work exactly?

Install went well. Exhaust has broken in nicely. Sounds great!

Awesome!! I'm sure it sounds good and looks good with the GFX

That front tab that you had work done on and I have one in the rear but it needs to be rolled not shaved. It should be easy for someone to do. You think the guys you went to maybe can do it??
