That looks awesome. Good job man.
I see what you did there.

Also thanks took me 3 Saturdays just to fix it right. It kept cracking around the headlight openings.

backspacing shouldnt matter, as long as you know your width and offset.

On their website it doesn't say anything about offset, just backspacing.

they're sportlines ...no, but seriously, the coils are like completely compressed on each other in the back, worse on the drivers side lol and it sometimes makes a god awful noise, depending what i'm doing...my drivers rear has always been goofy, it's always sat lower than the rest of the car. never understood it, but i heard others had that problem on sportlines too so i was just like whatev.

i partially attribute it to my ex. i was at work back when i got them and he decided to put them on at his family's "shop." we broke up like a month later and i had my wheels off and noticed the back ones were upside freaking down. what an idiot.

anywayyy lol i'm not sure whats going on with them. it could quite possibly be the struts or something like that too. gonna have to look at it more. i havent put it up in the air or taken the wheels off so who knows lol i do know they shouldnt be compressed like that, even with my trunk set up, especially since it's lighter than my last, i believe lol
