Just used a 4 inch side grinder to grind the calipers and the bumper stop. Takes a lot of patience and by the time you get through you will be able to try out for Nascar pit crew tireman because you'll take the tires on and off about 10 times thanks for all the kind words keep em coming .

I really like the stance of the car and im also putting on some 15x10 prostars with mt dr's. How much is the car lowered and what did u use to lower it. Did you have to use an offset lca to narrow it 3'' per side

The car is on Bilstein springs lowered 1.5' and no offset lca was used. However if you are gonna go with 28' tire YOU will either get offset LCA's or you will roll the fenderlips or do what I did and safety wire the fenderlip to the frame so it doesnt' rub the rear quarter panel. I did not want to cut my car or roll the lips and this little safety wire set up is workin out good.
