Haha my front already look decently flush so, but my rears are heaps in. So I don't really want to bring my fronts out to much.

yeah just get the rears flushed, and if you're game enough, get stretched tyres! works really well with flushed wheels and the lowered look! wicked sick!

just for the carshow i guess. Plus its not like you push your car anyways - hence your urge to remove all strut/body braces :lol:

^^^ Yes!.

Oh, and Stef, probably the only crap handling detrimentation it had that I only ever thought would be spacer related was my car tailing out a bit on fast big roundabout right/U turns which I kinda know how to fixate..
And I have good tread on all my tyres, good wheel alignment and dry road.
