From MexiFlush to GringoFlush

Installed coilovers and went full retarded.

The car looks awesome and rides like a proper rock should handle

So far I'm punishing the fenders badly and most likely I will raise it a bit because the headers and the bullets are getting scraped everywhere.

I really don't understand how all the stance guys manage to live daily like that

Looks great! How much damage are your fenders seeing?? I have coilovers and want the rear a little lower but don't want to damage the fenders if I'm going to have some tire rub which looks like it will be real close.

looks cool. More pic man. Those look like 22's, no?

I have coilovers on mine and want to go a little lower. Considering putting on the headers and front splitter before I drop it more to make sure I want to go lower. What's the clearance from the header to the ground? How much do you think you lowered it?

Problem is at speed, on road sumps when the car compress the rear tires hit the fenders from the inside, making "bruises" to the outside.

I suck at taking pictures... yes they are 22s and I will take a pic and measure the drop.

You should really take better care of your car. You can see where the paint is coming off the fender and your wheel looks all beat up.

You are such an awesome detective Juanito.

Paint went down when I pulled the fender, and wheel is just dirty, the lips are new.
