Got my car back from the mechanic lowered. Looks awesome, and handles great too. Now I just have to get used to a little more bumps

Wired in a LED stoplight to match the rear taillights. Suits it much better.

Opened my car door to take myself to the doctor, and found a big brown spider had set up camp in the door seal thingy. Then I checked the other three and found similar spidey webs in there as well. Ack!

He said hello to my friend the stick, and then to my shoe. The bastard.

Obsessed over my paranoia that the rear passenger wheel/tyre sticks out more then the driver side one.

Could it be that the axle was bent/disaligned from the acco???

Or he has more camber on one side!

But more likely bodywork i'd think

Geez guys, stop trying to cure my paranoia :P

Well ever since the accident it did scrape the tyre with a heavy load (yay bits of rubber coming off) but I think that was due to jagged metal. Got the damage fixed Then I put Rupe's (my) rims on and it just squeaks heaps on that wheel now when going over bumps (which is everywhere... yay NSW country roads).

You may need to get the rear guard edges rolled, as they are a 215/45. And the +37 offset wouldn't help there, as they're fairly flush with the guard edges by intent.

I ran a fair bit of camber - but also had the car so low that the tops of the tyres were tucked up into the rear guards - so i didn't think you'd have a problem with only a 30-40mm drop.

To clarify here Rupe - it doesn't scrape anymore since the damage was fixed, it just squeaks. Don't know if thats a sign for new shockies or what or if I need guards rolled.

Doesn't happen on drivers side.

Ah, probably just shocks then. If it's a kind of rattly squeak, it's possibly the inverted cup at the top of the stock shocks - they have a habit of becoming loose and jiggling around a bit.
