For those who are curious about the stance of the car, am lowered with Ohlins DFV coilovers, rolled front and rear fenders with tab relocation and I’m using Origin Fabrication offset bushings in the front. Tires are 245-40-17 Bridgestone Re-71r. I have the camber settings at home so I will edit the post later.

I maxed the rears with the OEM Ohlins cups then I measured out the fronts to match up fender gaps with the rears. The gaps look a bit different in each photo due to uneven parking lot pavement. I'm within a few mm but that does change a bit when I sit in the car as I'm not corner balanced. I did forget to mention that I swapped my oem springs out for swift springs, 12k front and 10k rear.
On a side note. Take the A arms off your self and get a shop to remove and press in your new bushings. I almost went with a harbor freight press / DIY method. So glad I didn't!!!

Caps
These are the Caps I bought from Kamispeed. Get your grinder ready as stated earlier in the thread. They fit great though.
The Sakebomb or Urge mounts will definitely get you lower. I would be nervous to go much lower without stiffer springs. Once and awhile I hit my front inner fender liner on a good highway bump/dip and I’m 10/16 clicks on my suspension adjustment.

@Kami Speed How are the faces on these +45 compared to the faces on +63? Also does the 17x9 +45 CE28SL have the same faces as these bronze +45?

Same face as the CE28N and same clearance for brakes and all.
