    cutting your sidewalls with fender, smart choice. Should make for a real nice blow out on the highway. Come on earl. If you want that sort of fitment, stretch the tires more, don't do the whole," Check my fender cutting into my tire side walls" that shit is stupid unsafe.

      Brian.....do you not know how air works? lol I'm not going to drive with my fender inserted in there. I am going to air up a bit. My driving height will be the fender sitting about a half inch above the lip. The whole point of going on air was to avoid chipping up my fenders=P

            Air is a beatiful thing.  I was "This" close to going to air on the M5.  Went with that hybrid umbrella system instead........which I am still waiting for.  Gah.....taking forever.

              It is a very beautiful thing. I will still be driving low, but I will not be smashing fenders and wrecking my new paint.

                  It is very true that a lot of people do that.....but it is retarded.   Ironically my setup will be exactly for that, however I'm not lowering to the extreme Earl is.

                          Well the compact got outside for the first time since November=)

                          I got the airline ran for the front struts and then rolled it outside to sweep out my spot in the shop. Enjoy the picture dump=D

                          The drivers rear somehow snaked the tire in more than usual and seemed like it was going to unbead. lol I need to pull the fenders within the next week or two.

                          IMAG1282zpsc6b88122.jpg

                          I then pulled the car in and cambered the fronts to get the fitment down. Then I realized that the struts need to be spun down because it doesn't air down as far as I want. Here is where the front is at now.

                          IMAG1289zps72467923.jpg

                          I also just love the insane toe in the rear......not

                          IMG20130703161456zpsd909d025.jpg

                          Definitely getting my trailing arms modified this winter to correct that.

                          I also inspected the chain guides on my motor and they were all good except for the right hand side one. The plastic was separating from the metal. Now to order that, paint the timing covers, and get it all back together=)

                          Updates after Saturday=P

                                  You will see it Saturday. Looks much better in person.

                                    Just paid $3 for Photobucket to have more bandwidth (because I was over the limit and my pictures were blanked out verywhere). I did it to keep all of my old photos alive for you guys=)

                                        Damn, that looks awesome. I'm usually not a fan of the stretch/poke look but those wheels on that car just work so well
