Werd. No one ever wants to meet it seems. We need to change that

Looks awesome man! what kind of wheels are those?? :P

Thanks! Yea, I need an alignment.

... Did you do some pull? I test fitted my cousin's wheels once. They were 9" front +19 and 10" rear +20 and they also sat flush so I thought that would be the perfect width/offset combo. Thats without pulling the fenders as well and could probably just use some fender rolling or cutting.

The fronts and rear were pulled slightly. I want to pull the rears a bit more to go lower

or maybe not, lol.

Of course, main reason is because they are Megan's. Other brands such as Ksport, Tein, JIC, etc... won't give you that.

I have Megan's right now and the only reason why is because they were already on the car when I bought it.

I occasionally drift the SC and when I do, man, body roll is all over the place. I'm definitely upgrading.

I don't have that problem, I have mine set at 10 all around. Only time I rub is when I go over a big dip/bump on the highway. Maybe set your fronts to be stiffer...
