    take wooden blocks to the steering joint and get it up there. you're wasting your money on an alignment if you're just going to play with height settings afterwards

        Well its raised and has the stock wheels on it. Its above 100mm so it should get on fine.

        I usually hit the road in some spots on the way to work (which i know how to avoid now) but yeah i couldnt see it going on.

        The guy goes to me "is that even legal??" then he continued to try and measure it.

              Also my front lip came, so is it the two side tabs you cut off?

                  mine is a deep one, and it seems like its shorter... which kinda sucks i knew about this but yeah anyway.

                  the camber is all back to 0 from getting the wheel alignment. so after this weekend ill see how it sits once low again, may have to tweak it.

                    As soon as you tweak the camber you really stuff up your alignment. Lowering and raising will make the wheels toe evenly in or out but adjusting camber is a total screw up.

                    Yeah I had the deep lip before too. Didn't meet up towards the wheels. How my deep lip looked:


                    Just fit it FROM the wheel to the center of the bumper.

                    If yours is a cheap Chinese one it will crack lol

                    • It looks "so factory"

                      • yeah i know adjusting the camber will **** everything. im hoping i can get away with 0 camber.

                        not really fussed on it being 'factory' if i was it wouldnt be lowered or have **** steel wheels on it...

                        just wanted to see how a different lip looked and plus it gives it more cheap lows

                        • What's your wheel and tyre specs again?

                          I'm surprised they played with the camber for your alignment. Where I go they just make the wheels point straight and don't mess with camber.

                          Don't waste money on ebay lips, just get the NA Lip from dub adiction and be done with it lol.

                          • yeah so was i, kinda pissed they did.

                            the lip is on there and it looks better than i expected so im happy for now.

                            my wheels are 15x8 et+20 and tyres 195/45.

                            i havent rolled or even touched the front arches yet either.

                              I think you'll be fine with 0 camber. Just roll your guards with a hammer and a hairdryer lol
