    The hard top has such an interesting shape -- really cool!

    I actually love the way the car looks with the hardtop on. I personally think the coupe should have the same body line. I get so many compliments from people.

    And as far as sling the car, its always for sale at the right price. But might as well keep enjoying it while i have it

    1.5" up front and 3" in the back
    have to ask for them to be built reverse mounted, they have to machine the faces for the lip and barrel to mount ontop instead of behind like normal
    only think is u loose .5-1" on the lip size when doing reverse mounted

    Pretty siked i placed at waterfest yesterday. But judges sucked. A car ty with side graphics and painte orange lower grills that looks like it came out of fast an the furious placed 2nd above me and a resprayed orange with ghetto new style audi face lift ebay fromt bumper placed 1st that needed a real lesson in stance. But w/e its all good. I dont go to shows for trophies. Go for good times with good friends

    CCW doesnt make a flat lip for those wheels

    and i wanted reverse mounted because of the look and almost no one runs them bc you loose about .5-1" of lip
    they dont do reverse mounted in the lm20 either

    umm not exactly sure off the top of my head
    but nothing crazy

    only like -2.5 to -3 out back

    front ball joints pulled all the way out on the control arm for maximum camber
    which i think upfront equates out to -1.5
