Coilovers set stiff, and I would still bet he probably does. Needs to get them rolled a bit.

It was the white balance, and the the overall color of the picture. If you look at the original its really yellowish, orangish. I lightened it up a bit, changed the "tone" of it to a cooler color and defined it a bit and lightened it up. Its experience man, every picture you will take need to be edited in some way. Nothing wrong, just the white balance was off.

Do you ever carry around a white card or piece of paper? lately with the night shots i've been taking it's helped out a lot. AWB is far off a lot of times.

That's actually a good idea. I usually just fiddle around with the white balance until I see it's correct

You can make an 8 push out as far as you want. But because its a small wheel it will look stupid on the inside. Don't bother with pf01.

Get aggressive wheels and be done

I know I can't stretch the tire and look aggressive but I would like to be as flush as possible

I got 5mm spacers all around and the back looks pretty good, so what's that +37 all around and it hasn't rubbed yet

When I had my 245/40s on I had the 5mm spacer in the front I didn't rub, at all and I didn't have one in the rear and it did rub over big bumps

So I know I can go more in the front, but I'm probably not as low as you were, I'm on h&r springs

Yeah wait till you lower the car properly. Front is quite forgiving. rear is not that's why my standard set up rubbed. If I had a roll and pull then I would be fine but it's only recently been done


And Dom sweet pic!!
