Statically, when I turn the wheel to full lock, there is about 1/4" clearance between the tire and the fender.

My next steps are to replace the springs all the way around with Swift Spec-R springs, potentially e9X spec. I also plan to replace the rubber spring perches at the front top and bottom and potentially top hats as well. We'll see how much the front goes up by if I do all this. After this is when I plan to buy one k8r to test fit. When I got my alignment done at West End Alignment after I installed the Dinan plates and M3 arms, the tech told me I could get up to -3* with my setup. I'm hopeful that this setup works out for me.

Any thoughts on this? It seems like maybe Ginger_Extract and Kgolf31 are the only ones to run these so far?
You're local to me, just come test fit my 17x9 and see how far off you are. I live in Long Beach.
