    Not on bags, yet. That's on RSR Black i coilovers my bags are ordered just not installed yet :) that is static set up at a conservative height with the RSR coils. I still have a lot of play with the adjustability. Needless to say not sure how much i'm lowered exactly but my fenders are rolled in the front, and pulled in the rear, have a -3 camber plate in the rear camber bolts in the front. Sitting about -4.5 in the rear. The wheels are all 18x9.5 +30 the gap from the fender to the rear wheel is very close, for the fronts I feel like I could put a 10mm spacer on and would have a better, more aggressive fit.

    Sweet dude, looks so nice.

    A 20 offset is possible.

    Il take my wheels an put the 20 in front to give you an idea (running on stock wheels now :-( )

    I don't know if a 20 offset is possible in the rear but for sure in the front. It would be possible in the rear with more camber obviously but I can't even put my finger between my fender and my tire with a 9.5 and 30 offset. And I have the camber plates.

    And that's with a mild tire stretch..

    Yeah, your car is tastefully done, I really like it. I'm not going to go as far as you did but I plan on just lowering 1.3 in front and 1.6 in the rear on my 2015 with Tanabe springs and a few JDM parts and run the black stock wheels or get a set of Lexus CT wheels. My wife will be the one driving it mostly, I have my Bug I've been working on but I want my wife to look cool driving a Prius (lol). Cheers!

    I ran a 20 offset in the rear for a while without camber plates. I have a mild roll / pull and a mild stretch on a 9.75 wide wheel 225 40 18.
    Granted I was not low enough and only tried a couple different lowering springs, however my goal was custom fab air ride which might come later along with -5 custom plates or custom cut and welded rear beam.

    Yeah mine are pulled in the rear, they couldn't really roll them but they got pulled a bit. I think later on id like to get a new custom welded one too you can order them from Japan and request what camber you want up to -10 degrees.

    Came home to this. Let the real fun begin :) image.jpg image.jpg

    More progress. Not sure if I'm going to run a box or do a hidden set up going to make a box and see what it would look like first though. Poor quality on photos it's dark out I should stop using a saw so late. Lol

    Looks great dude.
    How do you feel about losing the ability to drop the seats down?

    I was thinking of doing a hidden set up but couldn't find small enough tank on the cheap for the spare tire well .

    I can get cheap setup similar to yours but need the cargo space... guess I will wait see how yours come up, it might convince me to go similar route

    Yeah I mean realistically I could do it all myself. They are just doing the height sensors and struts. One because I've never done height sensors and two because they ordered the struts for me. And it's actually pretty cheap to get that done.

    @si12j12 heres my newest set up, I didn't really want to run the box in the back so wasted money on wood but whatever. I wanted to use the Exo mount that I bought but decided not to use it and run it in the trunk area above the spare tire well. None of it is mounted down or anything so not looking like exactly it will be but it's close. This should cut down on the noise of compressors too. And easy install just bolt everything into place. I think I'll get another inlay for shows that will have a clear window to see through. Maybe throw some lights in there we will see how far I go with it I suppose. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    I'm off to the big island today so won't be able to do any work for a little bit.
