Looks like there should be a driveshaft running to a diff in the back.

no side skirts and no front bumper make it look that way. I assure you the front lip is no more than 3" off the ground.

I spent some time last night checking clearances and taking a look at how I might adjust the stance. I ended up moving the front flare up about 2 inches since I realized that it hung lower than the OEM fender lip. Even though it _can_ hang that low due to the fact that its wider than the wheel, by lifting it up and dropping the car down a little bit I can lean the front of the car down a bit and bring the whole car 1/2-1" lower.

very tight here, but if I lower it just a bit more I will actually have a tiny bit more clearance:

looks amazing.

quick question, what do you think of the rt-615’s? i assume you haven’t driven on this exact setup yet, but have you used the tire before? what made you choose them?

i’ve got a set on the kosei’s on my MR2 right now, i’m still getting used to them, i’ve been on all season’s so long i forgot what grip felt like :excited

The things you could do with one. 😉

I adjusted a few things and snapped a few pics. Very subtle changes.

I think the back might still come down a half an inch or so.
