Looks good but y so much wheel gap!?!?

Its a "finger and a bit" gap. Its not "so much" lol. Theres still about 1.5" of thread in the front and 2" of thread in the rear but no point in it. As it is, its suitable for what i need to do and travel with the car without having it cause a problem in my day. Functional wins over Form in my books.

Function>Form. Never gonna slam mine. Just keep like 1 or so finger gap. Maybe a little more considering all the scrapping I'm sure I'll end up encountering.

You'd be surprised how low you can go without having functionality issues. I'm at 23.5" front, 23.75 rear, tucking a little tire, and I never scrape. Only problem is rubbing when turning sharp, other than that I can go lower... probably will soon.

I still find myself going up lots and lots of peoples super sharply angled drive ways and into parking lots that would give me problems on a daily basis.

First, I'm going to actually lower it for the first time (yes im still stock haha) and see where I get for a few weeks to a month, then either adjust or start the planning for a new setup.

You'll have zero issues with scraping on those springs Shawn. Trust me, the only time I scraped was on spots where even a stock height car would scrape. Once you do go low enough, you'd be amazed at what areas you can get your car in and out of with minimal scraping.

finished installing front components. ran new power wire through the firewall which went easier than expected. the most annoying part was running the new speaker wire into the cabin from the front doors woofers.

they are Alpine SPR-60c's

We'll see Steve. I'm putting them on HP's on its lowest perch later this week once I get them, and I'll see where I get. Still not a fan of having a completely slammed car, especially if it's a coupe haha just doesn't look right.

Also I don't know about the scrapping. If Baltimore is any indication of what the rest of the state is like, we got some sharp freaking hills man!
