That picture shared with the roller attached to two lugs is my car, rolling the fenders is really easy with that Eastwood, no experience necessary! Just hook it up and roll, takes 5 minutes.

Hahah, yes and no...

After installing the H&Rs and MM spacers it was cutting tire BAD. So I took some 1/4 rubber and shimmed the top and bottom of the rear springs which made normal driving better but under hard load or with passengers it rubs real bad (like hardcore burning rubber smell and chunks of rubber on fender)

it will all depend on your tire.

I was running 275 35 19s on my linea corse. had some rubbing and cutting. but only when I put three passangers in the back. Rolled it best I could with my jack. and put on a 275-30-19.

I want to roll and pull, and then go 285 35/40 and have some meat back on teh rear

I didn't take any after I was done but I could snap a few tonight from the back side of the fender if you would like. Esentially all you are doing is moving that 90 degree sharp edge to 180 degrees as not to cut into the tire. The added bonus is it really seals the plastic fender wells in place.

This is the H&Rs with MM spacers on 275/35/19

My key wouldn't even fit in between the tire and fender:






After I did my ghetto little spacers on the springs it wouldn't be so bad if the H&Rs weren't so soft... Not really impressed with them. I should've followed everyone's advice and went straight to coil-overs...

Damn my H&R's aren't nearly that low in the rear... Yours is slammed! And I agree, I should have went to coils instead of lowering springs. I should have known this by now, haha.

I am super pleased with the D2s so far. Glad I took the chance and skipped buying just springs.

RaceBannon let me use his Eastwood Roller for free if you hit him up I'm sure he'd let you borrow it as well.

This is how my car sits on the H&R's... The springs are in correctly but I like it a bit higher anyways, lol. I don't know why it's like that

You use MM spacers?

Fronts look about right, I'm assuming you didn't use the MM spacers in the rear...

Negative! That would be it. I'm not too familiar with them.
