Looks like we nailed that rear fitment, with that 3" drop, that 20x10 fits well back there, with that tire. Looks good!

Fitment was perfect. No rubbing issues anywhere, and I can barely get my fingers in there.

Ride quality is actually better. It feels like the handling is more precise.

love the stance in the rear i think the front could go down another 2". how much travel do you have left in the rear it looks like you are almost on the bump stops already?did you notch the frame for added clearence?

I actually have a bit more clearance then I expected. There is still quite a bit of play in the rear, hopefully the springs settle a little more. I can't drop the front anymore, as I am afraid I will start to have issues with the front fender rubbing when pinned into turns. I didn not notch the frame, as it sits the car frame and body are all stock.
