Gonna post some pics of the car now
The cost of a good condition Navan front + kouki sides + paint is basically the same price as a kit. I guess it all comes down to oem aero vs aftermarket, but I learn more towards oem so I don't have to deal with fiberglass

problem was i can't even drive it, it was rubbing inside the inner wheel well and the exhaust was scraping like mass. so i had to raise it up a bit. I did just now and am able to see the ground lol. Now i'm not rubbing but I'd like a little more clearance.

so i refuse to do it. wider wheels? i dont see why i would want to run 9j's on 50mm over fenders, shit, i already run a 38mm spacer as it is on stock fenders.

Sledge hammer + inner fender wells = some more clearance if you haven't done it yet. If you heat the fuck out of it you can get some decent clearance (~1/2 and inch).

Also, for your fronts I assume you've taken out all of the collars? I trimmed my front brackets where the coils bolt to the spindles to get some more room to lower it. What sized tire do you have up front and how long are your front springs? When I got my 7" springs I had to put all of the collars back up top and I am still tucking ~1/2 to 3/4 of an inch worth of my 235/40/17.

I'm happy with the fronts look, I have a 215/40/17. The rear is/was the problem. It was rubbing the undercoating shit inside the well right around the top near where it startes to loop, i guess would be the best way to explain it. Eitherway the exhaust needs to be tucked cause dual n1s sit way too low, and that'll add for more clearance then maybe lower it again. For now, gunna raise it another 1/2 and inch and call it a day till the exhaust gets tucked.

Also, only removed 2 collars not all of them, for the fronts.

But, I think I am going to stray down the kouki road once again. So I will probably just end up re-selling these things.

yeah, when you hit exhaust, it sounds bit hallow, but when you hit your diff or subframe, you'll feel that bump in your seats!

Ok..so I didn't put the d-max spoiler on...i may never put it on the car..lol. i may mock it up just to take pics of it just in case someone wants it still.

LoL. Ok so excuse my noobness if I'm way off here, but when I see ITR I think Integra Type-R... That's not really the lip people are running on their Navan bumpers, are they? And does it really stop short of the edge of the bumper near the wheel well?
