    New Coilovers and just had the paint correction

    My paint was already in good shape. But it did have some swirls from the previous owner, and possibly a few from me on a lazy day running it through a soft cloth. I was planning to have my brother buff it out as he works at a body shop. Dropped it off with him this weekend and here are the results. Sorry for the iphone pics. I need a real camera. Let me know what you think? Also i need some spacers but i want absolutely no rubbing. What would be the safest bet size wise 5mm in the front 8mm in the back?

    That looks awesome. I was going to have the obligatory "spacers" comment but I think the semi tuck of your wheels looks really great.

    I am really wanting spacers, just undecided on what size. I dont want them to poke out and have to stretch the tires, i just want to eliminate the extra gap.

    From the looks of it, it doesn't seem that you're lowered THAT low, so you can probably get away with some decent sized spacers. I ran 20mm back and 15mm front when I was just lowered on my H&R Cup Kit, but the back rubbed like a mofo over any sort of bump or dip. Also, this is on an 18x8 et47 wheel

    I was going to go with a bigger spacer on my rear, 18x8 et45, than the 10mm I have now. I'm on the h&r sport cup kit. Had you removed the bumper/fender screw when you had all the rubbing in the rear? I was toying with the idea of rolling the rear fenders to get 15mm to fit. Any ideas? The fronts had no rubbing for you with the 15s? OP, I would do at least a 10mm, maybe 12 rear and 8-10 front. Just make sure to remove the bumper screw from the rear.
