i was also looking for some dependable spacers. i thought ichiba was pretty good, but after some forum research i read alot of stories of them cracking and breaking. alot of people also said the ebay high grade aluminum extended lug spacers worked well without any issue. im gonna pick up a pair soon, cant go wrong for about $60 shipped

I think that a pair of 2011 rims powder coated black would look sick with that slam.

Eh. I scrape the shit outta my bottom with the eibachs. I don't know where you live fas but being low gets old quick. Eibachs are still practical, lower is stupid unless you're on the track.

low is a lifestyle.

but nah, I have only scraped my front lip twice... and that was bc I wasnt paying attention. but man after you lower the car, your driving style has to change to compensate. I dont drive fast at all anymore.

and let me tell you, I drive on the worst roads in the city weekly. lol.

Thats why u need some hydrolics, LOL lower her to the ground when u not driving and bring it back up when u on the road. J/K

This is the reason why i am having a hard time deciding to lower or not. But it look so damn sexy when its sitting so low.

Well drive carefully too, but you can't predict every turn. I mostly scrape my undercarriage, not so much the bumper when I bottom out. The spings do settle..as I've noticed.

I looked into bagging it. It would be pretty easy to do on the Koup. I'm going with Ark coilovers though just need to find the time to go into the shop and get them
