And to answer your question....I have to put the adjuster cups back on the back of my FC in order to daily drive it. I can hardly pull onto my parking pad when I'm cutting grass or anything else.

that looks so damn sexy... same set up i had planned.. stance pro + fn01rc.. in bronze = sexxx

i assume those are 17x 10 right? what size tires are you running? are they stretching a bit? i cant tell some pics they look like they do a bit and some look perfect


side note: 10k all around? i thought the stance were 12k or are there different options?

^ they are 17x10 all around and the fronts are just a bit stretched not to much though. the tire sizes are 235/40's in the front and 255/40's in the rear. on the coilovers i talked to rishie and he said that 12k would prob be to stiff 10k is really stiff and is plenty stiff for my needs. you can order then in either 10 or 12k though.

Looks better now with the height adjusted.
I think the x10 up front makes the car look round.
How does it feel making turns? Fast turns, slow turns....

ive done springs so had to take the shocks out... and to be honest i dont think they are that hard. you'll be fine if u have basic mechanical skills and a DIY or shop manual...

the install on the coilovers combined prob took about 6 hours for everything but i had blown shocks so it was a bit harder getting some of the stock springs and struts off. i also didnt have a spring compressor so that didnt help lol. but oyu should be fine. let me know how it goes!

Last set of pics look much better. Ideally low FD's look good but slammed and they look dumb.

I just want a floor to fender height of 25" on all 4's and im happy.

What is your floor to fender height?

coilovers are so easy to install. i wouldnt worry.
it looked kind of gay low with +35s but looks really good now. with 235s you should have gone +25/25 and it would look better dropped alll the way.
