I almost regret getting 18s. I wish I had fat 17s instead. I'd be lower, and quite honestly it would look less biggie-wheel-no-body-kit than it does now.

Has anyone got stuck on a 2x4 before? Finally put my coils on the Abarth last night.

Not low but thought I'd share. These are Enkei Kojin 17x8 +35 with 235/40/17 on Pedders. 5mm spacers up front but they are not needed. They clear Brembos by a mile.

You don't set preload with the shocks...

so the So Clean meets started in Montreal last week, some guys made an opener video.

We get these every Wednesday of the summer, and an even bigger Multi Meet Mondays every Monday that start the 29th this year. I'll probably do a season opener video on that Monday.

you only preload it so slightly so that the spring doesn't fall out when you jack up the car

i was making up a situation that made some sense to me being fake or not

wasnt saying preload is set with the shock just that the shock is working harder to to match the length of the spring

or some gibberish like that

Like I said a long time ago to you dude, GET A BODY KIT.

18's are too big for a regular body unless you're tucking some mad wheel and I think Randy is the only person doing that, with a body kit.
