headsoake, can you drop ur car anymore? Or will there be rubbing? Mines alot lower, and none so far. Ride looks sick.

Umm, it actually rubs how it is right now... though not too often, but if I corner hard, and hit any sort of blemish in the road, it'll rub. I plan on removing the plastic fender liner, and rolling the fenders... eventually. Likely in spring. You're running stock wheels, right? If I was on stock wheels, I could drop it another 2", lol... but I'm running 235/45/17's, and my wheels have a pretty agressive offset, as you can see. So yeah... time will tell. i do want it lower though. In a couple months I'm gonna raise it 2.5" for winter! hahaha
Thanks!

Not as low as I want it! :) I wish I needed to clear big brakes... haha, my wheels are a welded 2 piece though, and can fit as big of brakes as I can find -- they rim has a big groove for a giant caliper -- and the offset is perfect for a BBK.
The stupid groove I mentioned is annoying as hell when I wash the car, because water pools in it at the bottom... I wouldn't mind having to dry them out as much if I had some big porsche brakes lurking down there. :) How do you like the stoptechs? Have you much experience with any other BBK manufacterers?

I love my stoptechs. Very street friendly. I also have a set of porsche brakes. I am going to try them out when I eventually go autocrossing. I heard they are pretty much off or on and not very streetable on our cars.

Hmm, not very streetable eh? I definately wouldn't want that, as I've never been on a race course! haha -- that being said, I don't need big brakes at all... but hey, maybe someday.
