    Yeah thanks guys lol, the shims work great...less camber than the washers though. Did a little more grinding on the guards and it's not scrubbing one bit!
    Just took it for a test drive, left my phone on the roof... fell off going 40... fuuuu! Thank god fro rubber cases haha.

    Finally got an exhaust made up. Ended up going with a 2.5" (yes 2.5"!) cat-back system. High flow cat, hotdog resonator, straight-through muffler and custom dual turn-down tip. I didn't want chrome or anything pretty, I got them to spray it black but it was still too shiny for my liking so I scuffed it up with some fine grit sand paper Perfect!

    Sounds pretty good for a 1.8...
    Still tossing up the idea of getting some headers or just leaving it how it is.

    Sounds a lot better than I thought it would. Maybe I'll have to get something done to my exhaust

    i did the rear on my e36 by grinding the inside lip away (removing the toughness!) then heating with a hair dryer to soften the paint before removing the rear spring and shock and dropping down on a rolled up courier mail - weekend edition
