500 in/lb springs with a 150lb driver.. I don't think that will lower the drivers side the additional 1/2" to make it level.
Ill take a pic from the other side when it stops raining, too. If the car sat that high on both sides, I would def lower it more.

Alright, after a few weeks of driving, I finally hit a bump hard enough to cause the back passenger side tire to rub against the outer fender lip. It cut a pretty defined line in the tire... so I'm not too happy.
The passenger side sits 1/2" lower, so I might look at raising that side and lowering the bump stops a little. The aftermarket bump stops seem to be a bit shorter than the stock ones.
Is the tire still safe to drive with the cut in it? I will try to post pictures later tonight of the cut. I hope I don't have to buy a new tire...

Could maybe roll the lip on the quarter instead. A lot of guys do that when stuffing wide tires in the back.

I called around town and no one rolls fenders. Totally annoying. I know people rent the eastwood roller, so I might try that, I just worry about cracking the paint. I would rather have a pro do it..

That sucks, man^. Nothing you can do really other than replace it or ride it out.. But the wheels look great! There's a member on here that rents out fender rollers. It's one payment for $60 and a second separate payment for $250. $250 is the deposit. His name is 69TA
Here's the thread.

I can't believe no body shop in town rolls fenders... that's just crazy to me.
