Thanks Garry. Speaking of pics, hasn't that wing of yours been at the paint shop for like 3 weeks?

We want pics!

Springs go on in July. Probably order the plates end of May or early June...and then save for air tools

I'm still trying to decide if the extra 3/8" drop of the RCE lowering plates will endanger my lip by much more.

Oh well, I'll just be careful and hopefully prolong its life.

I had my V-Limited lip with RCE lowering camber plates and Tanabe GF210 springs for a total drop of 1.375" and it was not the easiest thing to drive. It got pretty beat up. It's not even that I wasn't careful. Sometimes it was just unavoidable ... like I knew it was coming the second I saw the hill/ driveway / speed bump. But it just looks too good.

I'm switching to RCE springs soon, but I think they're the same drop as the Tanabe's. So I still screwed.

I see you used past tense ("I had my V-limited lip..."). Does that mean it's no longer on?

If it's livable, then I'm ok with lowering plates. Everyone I've asked with Pinks + Lowering plates + Lip have said it's livable and looks great...but ironically they have all broken lips

(ok, maybe it's not that ironic

).

there is no better use for money then a pointless widebody since you'll still be on stock wheels

Haha, thanks, but yeah I don't think I'll be looking at aftermarket wheels. I want to go back to school in a year (or two) so it'll be time to start saving so I can make it through my student years

Quoted for the truth. My man Clap hooked me up with a sweet deal on Rotas. If you are looking for high quality original design parts, I think he is definitely the man to talk to.

Can you give us a hint on the new style Rotas or is that against your contract? I know Nandan needs some new rims for summer.
