Default FINALLY! (got my back end down)

Three months ago, I put the front Ground Control springs on my car... yesterday, I finally managed to get the rear end down... it's tucking tire about an inch (like halfway down the sidewall), and no rubbing.. it's amazing. Anyway, I know everyone wants to see pics:

Things done in the last week:
-Mugen (style) front lip
-Type-R (style) rear lip
-Black Widow side skirts (until I can get my hands on a set of EK sides... my friend says he might give me his)
-Z3 fenders (fiberglass-reinforced plastic)
-5% limo tint on the rear windows
-Ground controls (in back)
-KYB AGX shocks (in back)
-Energy Suspension rear lca bushings (polyurethane)
-Energy Suspension rear shock mount bushings (polyurethane)
(yeah, I've been busy lol)

sorry for the low-quality pics, but they were taken on my phone... I'll see if I can't get ahold of someone's digi camera and take some better shots soon

I wanna say +45, but I'm not positive... I'd go out and pull one of the wheels to look, but as you can probably guess, getting a jack under the thing is a pretty big hassle anymore lol

That is insanely low. I am amazed it doesn't rub. Nice job it looks awesome.

Thanks everyone... and I just went out and measured my ground clearance.. the lowest part is (obviously) the sideskirts: 2" off the ground. In other words, I'm not sure I can drive over speed bumps anymore lol. I hopefully won't have those sides on for long though... I need to talk to my friend who has an EK with a body kit... he said I might be able to have (as in "I'm getting them for free" ) his stock sideskirts.
