Just took it around the block and need the front guards rolled and I think I'll need to raise it a bit to actually get in the driveway without scraping. I've already bent the lip on one front guard :roll:
Tyres are Kumho KU36 and they are so sticky they flick stones up while driving without getting them hot. Haven't had a chance to test them in anger due to said scraping problems.
Also note fibreglass front bar to ape the US style and also modified intercooler opening.
Anyone know a guard roller in Brisbane?

Bloody fantastic Anthony, worth every cent. They look great. What size tyres did you end up with?
P.S. Drive over and let me see this in the flesh - wow!!
front 18x8.5 +8 with 245/35 tyres
rear 18x10 -5 with 275/35
I need to drive the car for a bit to deliver final verdict on offsets. At the moment the rears look OK, but definetly need gaurd lip rolled and fronts are questionable.
The ideal tyre size for the rear is 295/30, but they weren't available in the cheap kumhos.

Lower it more! I can't even get out the driveway without scraping as is! I think I'll have to raise it.
I don't know what billiard ball smooth roads you guys have in the US, but any lower would be totally impractical here.
