are those 18'' wheels? looks good, most important thing is that the wheel lip comes as close to the edge of the fender as possible.  If you're interested in starting up an east tennessee vip club let me know I've got me and two others so far.

So how is the height adustability or is it like the G50 and Z coilovers?I would have liked to stay on coilovers but in this city it is not practical FOR ME to replace tires every other month due to bubbles caused by camber and bad streets. If I am going to throw away money it could atleast be on the car and not in tires alone.

Layso, not trying to be a jerk or anything but I'm not a newb. You can see from the pics that I've got below that I understand the importance or proper fitment. the temps are 19x8.5+35f and 19x9.5+25 rears. 275/35/19 rubber in the back and 245/35 up front. interestingly enough no rubbing out back although I can put my finger between the fender and the tire.I'd love to start up a crew but it'll be hard for me to hand with ya'll since I'm in Nashville. There are about 5 hardcore guys here now. My boy Amir and a young jedi, named Taylor who has slammed silver on black 2nd gen GS300 with exhaust on Stance Coilovers. Tibbs of course, Squirk. I even have a buddy who just picked up an Estima Wagon that we are going to mod VIP style. We're trying to get this thing going here in middle. These are my back up wheels. The ones I run on a regular basis are flush. but I may end up adding a spacer now to maintain proper fitment since the additional camber from being so low is making them more sunken. the specs on my standard running gear are 19x9.5 +15 all the way around. I've put a 5mm spacer up front since doing the conversion and probably will start running a 10mm spacer now. Here are some pics of the wheels i usually run. As you can see they are just about flush....not hella flush.....but considering this is a daily driver and I haven't rolled my fenders...yet....I think fitment is about spot on. 
more pics older interior...prior to the conversion so its pretty high in the air

The coilovers are monotubes. so the entire assembly will screw up and down in the bracket, on top of having the normal height adjustment you get from adjusting the spring height. the are also dampening adjustable. Right now I've got them probably 3/4s of the way up, and like I said I could lay frame with them and still have plenty of suspension travel. Best part is the shocks aren't getting overworked since they have the full travel where they are set right now.

Looks great Omari. Let me know when you and Amir are ready for some 50% blue. 
I have a buddy that owes me a favor, so I should have the fenders rolled and flared soon. Plus the Q is going in the shop in a couple of weeks to get a door ding fixed. Drunks friends suck.

So w/ S14 coilovers, you can't go as low as with S13, but as long as you don't need to go ridiculously low, they will do the job just fine, correct?I have heard that due to the rear height difference in the S14 --> S13, you won't be able to go super low, but I just want a nice stance, not be slammed.

The stock height of s14 and q45 shocks is about the same. I haven't put the rears on yet (i'm being lazy) so i can't tell you whether the s14 coils slammed will give you good options far as height between low and really low, or just average drop. My gut feeling is that they will go low enough but you'll be riding at the lowest point of height adjustment for the s14 coils....which may affect ride quality and shorten the life of the shock.
