You may need some of these. I used 3/4", but I have about 150lbs of stereo gear in my trunk. 1/4" or 3/8" would be enough if you are just barely rubbing. The small piece with glue on it is placed in the middle of the plastic lower spring holder so the bump stop still has something solid to bottom out on.

Don't know how much i like the original spring seat being higher than the control arm part that holds it in seeing as you just glued that together.

True, rolling the fenders would help.

Some people say not to cut the bumpstops, but I cut mine as well since it says to on the instructions for the sportlines. Also I was joking about the fat chicks

Today was an fed up sad day with my wife’s grandma passing away.
Had to get the wheels on the car to get away from the sadness.

Need new centercaps...they were a bit beat up

quick pics with dirty car

The small piece with glue on it is installed in the plastic spring base so the bump stop still has something solid to bottom out on. The lower spring mount is still held in place by the 1" of steel that sticks up through the larger piece that I made. The spring won't go anywhere unless I do a Dukes of Hazzard style jump and both rear struts break free from the chassis! . I will make a thinner set to use this summer since my front springs settled a bit leaving the rear wheel gap larger than the front. 1/2" or 5/8" should work for my application. 1/4" to 3/8" would be more than enough for cars with the stock sound system.

Those look really good! They are definitely unique! I think I would have left the spokes black and just had the lip done, but the gunmetal looks good too.

That is useless. It will only drop the back end 1/2".

As a fellow orange balt owner, I can definitely say that looks pretty bad-ass. It's pretty damn catchy and unique
