Got the spacers in.. Waiting for tires. Will be in on wed. I'll post pic when I get them installed.
Thx for the info.

Hey guys, heres the pix with the 15mm H&R spacers. I love the look and cant wait to get my new tires on wed and Swift Spec-R springs. Was gonna run Tein mono coilovers but its out of my budget right now. I'm still a lil nervous that it might poke out too much for my likin even I've got confirmation not to worries.

Nah, it'll look perfect with a drop. Tops will tuck in as you lower it (ie. increasing negative camber).

You'll be fine. I went conservative and 20 all around. Gave myself some room for 305's.

I think 15-20mm is the best fit, 25 looks good on some, but others not. I think im gonna run ichibas 15-20

bdub561: They're both DRS right? I'm hesitant on the whole spacer situation...

Fuct right.. It's really easy to do. If u have an air gun setup only takes a few hrs for both front and rears.

I have 20/25 bolt on from b2autodesigns. $220 for front and rear. I have a base with sport package and its perfect. Just use a 1/2" drive and you'll be fine. I would have done stud replacement, but i plan on changing the rims and getting the right offsets

Did you use and Anti-Seize on the threads or the spacer itself?

I haven't put any on yet, but I'm wondering if I should if it will protect it from corrosion. I don't plan on really adjusting or removing them in the future, I just want to make sure that they stay intact.
