You aint dubb'n!

So i installed my coils today. Still have alot of threads up front and rear but i was rubbing pretty bad so i raised it up till i have time to roll the fenders. By the time i finished the upgrade i was so exhausted since im terribly jet lagged from living in Europe for 2 months. (I just got home yesterday at 7pm and could only sleep 3 hours last night).

Onto the pictars!

Columbia MD. Tags are changing soon too. I cant belive they gave me the plates i ordered LOL
 
thanks for all the comments. I am thinking next year i want lower profile tires and even more stretch on the rear so i can tuck a bit better, but im not sure if i am going to stretch more.

i cant wait to roll my fenders so i can:

Wow, seriously, so sick. Love the wide rear too
 
So after some delay with the tire guy i finally got the tires late on Friday and drove to get them mounted. Went with 225/45 rears instead and will be doing the fronts 205/45.

Heres a quick video of us trying to get the tire to stretch using ether. Only got 1 vid before my battery died.

It tucks so much better in the rear now, thank god cause it was destroying my poor fender. O yeah also got 5mm spacers in the front instead of 10mm, pictures of all that will come when i get home.
and heres how the car sits now, all in its pajamas as i am back in europe for one more month.
