to get the shocks out there are 2 bolts that hold the shocks to the chassis of the car

Nice work Ilv!! Looks HOTTT!!! B)

I wonder how much its going to settle..... How much gap is there at the moment between the guard and wheel??

I guess we will see on the 25th!

Is it an even finger gap front and back?? Do you think that you will have to roll the guards or you have definately put it through its paces with no scrub!?!?!?! Like I said man, if you can post a close up pic of the wheel arch's, atleast then we will all know what type of drop to expect from the Teins ST's. Then when Cevu gets the F-sports on, we can get a reference for them as well. QQQ, can you post a close up pick of the Eibach's drop!!

Thanks y'all!!!
