Patiently waiting for my set of wheels....:spaz:
Car is sitting on Spoon springs for FL5 with rear shims to counter the reverse rake.

Can you explain the shim route, have been hearing about the unwanted rake. Does the car at least ride well?

it is just a kind of space you put in between of the rear springs and the actual car chassis when installing the lowering springs, henca adding a bit of a height to match the front end. TBH I am planning to remove it once my wheels has arrived. I would not mind the reverse rake.

Car rides better than the stock suspension. Its a bit firm but I can definitely notice the improvements in handling and turns. You can definitely tell that you have an aftermarket suspension.

I have to install the shims for my FL5 with Spoon Springs. Hopefully this weekend. :)

Yours looks great!
