Did you have to get your tires tilted inward in order for them to clear the fenders when you dropped it?

I have 20mm spacers all around and I still remember you telling me to go with 25mm on the rear. I'm going to stick with the 20mm because the tires are right inline with the fenders.

20/25mm and no problems or fabrications needed. after initial setup my fronts were rubber the fender on turns but I had it dialed in as low as possible. after a few days had it raised and fenders are all in tact. i wanted the tires to stick out slightly so 20/25 was just right for what I was looking like.

Hmm...ok. I purchased the Supersport + and I think I'm gonna go with a cup kit for problem areas. I'm still researching if I'm going to need a camber kit with that.

My friend that recommend the Stance to me insists that I do not need chambering kits because the Super Sports have chamber plates installed. I'm assuming the + would also have this. So I'm going to go ahead and install just the coilovers sometime next week. Afterwards, I will get an alignment and if I run into any issues because of the stock suspension components then I will look into chamber kits. I will give an update after it's done.

camber and toe kit are necessary if you are going to lower the car.
