Oh HELL yeah!

Some 25mm spacers would look SO sexy on there.

Nicely done, sir!

Thank you kind sir. Looks a slightly deceiving though. There is very little space with the liner being there and the drop in the rear being a wee bit low due to the weight.

I plan to get a spc camber arm for both sides and toe bots to get withing spec. Currently toe is just near the max of the spec limit, and camber is 2.9 left, 2.8 right, so about 1 degree out of the max spec limit.

I don't plan on upgrading the wheels, so I'm thinking lower profile tires (once the stockies wear out) and I'd add the 15mm H&R spacers I already have. I want at least half an inch clearance. Right now with the stock wheels it's just at the top of the fender (plus the liner interference).

Congrats. You're a pioneer! In a perfect world, I'd like to see the rear 1/2 inch higher.

Thanks. Not quite the pioneer as it's been done already by at least 2 others. First with keeping the stock 19s maybe, LOL. 1/2 an inch would indeed be the ideal drop. I'll have some before and after height pics posted soon.

Looks good. Much better with the factory 30mm offsets in the rear that the 'vert has.

A short update for those keeping up with this mod.

After a week the settling seems to be done and the drop height to the front fender is 27 inches and the height to the rear is 26 inches with the stock rims and tires.

Wow! Looks great! I keep hounding the guys at Eibach on when they're going to make a kit especially for the 'vert but they say they're not going to because there aren't enough of them out there. Now that it's been about a month, have you had any problems bottoming out or rubbing?

Thanks for the feedback. I've had once instance of rubbing and actually pushing the liner out a bit. This was due to making a fast entry going down an incline incline while making a right turn on to a main road. Occasionally if I gun it there's a burning rubbery smell, but it's very infrequent.

So I just tried 25mm spacers this week and it is too aggressive with a 2 inch drop. 20mm works with fendor lining trim.
