Just curious, what is your fender to hub distance? You look to be a little lower but I'm not sure if it's the spacers and tall tire like you mentioned. |

Ill try to do it this morning. I was glad to know about the bump stops too being internal. I haven't thought about it until you and Ben asked and then I got worried. All good now! |

Keep in mind they are SUPER white. Almost Ice white when clean. They definitely don't match the pearl white at all. When really clean I have to edit the color to match better in photos. |

I got around to taking some Hub to Fender measurements today.
Looks like: Drivers Front - 13.125 Passenger Front - 13.125 Drives Rear - 13.200 Passenger Rear - 13.200 Less than 1/16th of rake front to rear. Also, this is with a gas light on so it's a bit taller than it was from the shots in the above post. |

I haven't looked at others to compare but wow, that's a significant difference. I just filled the car back up with fuel. Ill see in the morning if it went any lower, it's close to an extra 80 lbs. |

Haha, yeah sometimes I got a little nuts with editing but I do miss having a super white car like I used to have. The SWP is beautiful but can look too creamy next to a bright white car.

So the front bump stop is internal, how about the rear? did you reuse the stock one or it comes with one?

On the fronts, yes. Rear, no...
Rears come with new ones. When reusing the fronts, make sure you slide them down all the way until they're seated. If not, you can easily pinch them in the top hat when tightening every thing together. |

Quick question regarding the front lip, did you need to drill any holes into the bumper for the lip install or did you just use the existing holes?

I had to drill some smaller holes in mine to make it fit tight. There are a few on the side that use the factory clips but the rest require some drilling. Nothing too harmful, just small holes less than 1/8" |

Was this setting recommendation from Myles specific to your car (since you are also running RCE spring and struts), or is this the general best practice? I have RCE front and rear sways and black springs going on soon and would like to know the best settings for the sways. Thanks.
