I was gonna get some of those wheels at one point. Looking good!

Im sure you're car needs alignment and it will fix the sunken look a bit, you have your rears pulled?

That looks clean. I prefer the style of the old wheels, but the new ones look better just because of the size.

Did you clear out the bottom part of your taillights?

That's a lot better. Now it looks like a Lexus instead of a tuner car.

tire sizes are 225/35s in the front, 265/35 in the rears,

the rear was dropped more but i had to raise it about an inch because it was rubbing if I had anyone in the car.

the rears are pretty pulled, I can be more but my friend was at i with the fender roller for a couple hours. Our rears fenders are thick.

After my friend got in the car with the low car jack, jack stands, spare tire, and two tires the sc dropped an inch. coilovers refused to move because of the cold. So I taped together 16 pennies and put them under the spring to raise them. Drove home 50 miles and still driving with pennies under my spring. Had 4 hobos try to help me. Really funny story abotu them.

whyat tire sizes are you running. If the rear was 255/35 i wouldnt have a problem clearing it. But I want ot run like a 275/30 in my next tire size. So im comtemplating running a lil negative camber but I can figure out where to adjust the camber in our upper control arms

Huge improvement, not that I dont like the Battles, but that lip and color just compliments your SC even more.

I'm currently running 19x10.5 +24 in the rear with 275/30 tires and they are rubbing. I'm also running -2.8 camber in the rear. It's only rubbing on the inner fender, I don't know what to do about that
