Looking good man. love yellow balts. Might I suggest next wheel spacers? Also I think it would be really tight to get that chrome lip color matched to your paint color. Those wheels would be perfect for it.

Mine settled about a half inch after 3-4 weeks. Just drive it "spirited" around corners to make the suspension work harder. 3 of the coils on all of my springs are completely compressed together.

If i had to guess i 15mm would be the most aggressive your going to get but you'll need extened studs most likely. I'm not highly knowledgable in the subject but thats what i know from what i have seen on other members agressive stance. check out the aggressive stance thread in the wheels and tires section of the forums and look through it. I read alot of threads on here for knowledge on everything when i get my ss coupe, i currently have an lt sedan haha.
