  • Nice work man! You can get the rear wayyyy lower if you want. Mine looked the same as yours when I first did my bags but when I rolled the rear fender it actually pushed the fender out some and I got a lot better fitment. Also, on the front, if you want that to go lower just trim the pinch seem in the fender well.

        Drilled out the cylinders on each side, then compressed each side. You could take the shocks off and compress them in a vice, but i just kicked them and they went.

        For the rears im swapping the 25mm adapters to 20mm to pull them in a bit, and them roll them which should be perfect. In the front my oil pan is whats stopping me. its sitting on the ground holding me up, what did you do for your s50?

        • Started to work on my trunk, took the old carpet out and replaced it with wood. Fit perfectly the first time so that was nice! Tank bolts to that and the air lines come up from a hole behind the tank.

          The wood will be getting carpeted, went to Home Depot and picked up some of the closest stuff i can find. Its a little lighter in color but itll do.

                  I love them too! But ive been thinking about running euro bumpers and finding an Mtech1 or alpina front valance.

                    Yeah, that should work for the rear, plenty of of room back there. As for the front, just put some washers on your motor mounts. Don't get crazy because you will get some weird angles but it will definitely help. I'm sitting on my oil pan still after raising it up and I still need to get it about 1/2" lower for the fitment i want.

                    • Would running subframe risers without the diff spacers fix the driveline angle with washers on the engine mounts?

                        How thick in total do you think your washers are? This was the plan for now, my buddies gonna make me some custom taller motor mounts eventually.

                        I think you would run into the issue of the diff input plange/universal joint hitting the upper part of the subframe where it runs through, im not positive though

                            That's true lol but I'd have to raise the trans too which could hit the tunnel, idk I'll have too look into it
