dude.. go lower! lol

anyways, nice set-up. Keep an eye on your rear upper control arms though... I've heard a few complaints on Megan RUCAs failing where the welds are.

but overall, looks good.

appriciate the comments guys. i want it lower but alot of the places i drive have like 3"-4" high speedbumps. as it stands now i got about a half inch of clearence. as for the fenders i rolled them with a hammer and used an electric scissor jack to "pull" the fenders. i pulled them almost a full inch and ended up with a factory looking flare. the pics dont do them justice.

lol, you can get that ride height with struts and lowering springs, but w/e floats your boat. Btw, if you did do a pull dont do any more, cause before you result to pulling, fitment always comes first.

how do you like your stance coilovers. I got the gr basics and have not gotten around to putting them on in like 6 months.

i love them. they ride great and the difference in handling is night and day even with the dampers only set a 7 all way around. im going to wait until the suspension settles and then im going to lower a little more. and yes i could get this ride height with shocks/springs, but there i no way i could get the handling im looking for nor the versitility/adjustment that coilovers offer.
