    Just asking because I hear those plastic shims compress.

    I could have swore I found -5 plates through a japanese website a while back no luck now that I search.

    What about stacking 2 -3 plates for a whopping -6? Lol

    Also there was a prius build in japan where the builder cut and welded the beam to achieve the camber.

    I have been looking into spare beam from a totaled car and doing that myself but havent found one cheap enough.

    Diamongjim tried having plates custom made here in cali but dont think he found a place.

    He is using -3 .

    You are shaving or rolling right?

    Yeah I'm rolling and pulling front and backs I couldn't find any -5 plates from Japan. I maybe could stack two plates but I haven't looked into that I was talking to Jin at Kyoeiusa and he didn't reccomend doing it. I'm sure they will compress a little bit but it will still give me more than -3 in the rear.

    Don't know what lugs to get so hard to decide what color I want to do?! Any opinions? Shown below are burning blue, gold, and the neo chrome. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Well I just dropped my car a little bit getting it ready for the new wheels. Also just washed her up! @Accordlayingkit this isn't even close to how low these coilovers can go, haha probably will go another 1 1/2" but probably wouldn't be drivable then lol.

    I'll take some photos and video when they are doing my car so if you want to see anything else in specific just let me know :) damn you man now you have me all excited about Monday I was trying not to think about it haha. Tomorrow for prep I gotta adjust turn the front coils 180 degrees to give the -1.5 camber from the suspension. Which sucks because you gotta take out the front wiper assembly and a lot of the weather proofing plastic and a bracket just to get to the front suspension.

    Good Times!

    When it was time to take my car to the alignment shop, I drove 30 minutes on the freeway with all of those parts off - just for the mechanic to get access to the Front Coilovers.

    It is was amazing to see rising heat coming from the hood at stoplights :eek::eek: Those added panels really makes a difference!

    Can't wait to see the final results!
