    for the front wheels 1. did you use spacers with studs or without studs and 2. if the spacers came with studs did you have to shave the stock front wheel studs so they would not touch the rims?

    Does the suspension bottom out on DF210s with a fully-loaded car? I like how low the rear looks with this kit, but wondering what happens when you have people sitting in the backseat.

    with my three kids in the back and my partner in the right passenger side seat...No...I'm upgrading to coilovers for a bigger drop. 1.6 isn't enough.

    Hello Hybrid, I can tell you that with a full house (wife in front, my teenage son, his girlfriend, my 10 yo daughter and assorted band equipment in the boot, no issues. This was just yesterday over about a 30 mile trip on heaving Wisconsin roads.

    Looks and sits perfect .

    Can you feel a difference in spring stiffness or it feels stock?

    That top pic looks best, like it has darker almost gunmetal color wheels due to lighting.
