it seems to me that the 1.2 kit drops 2"
1.2 seems to be the average of H&R kits, so i think thats where that info comes from.

the "decoder" is to stop any error messages from LEDs coming up.

Thanks for confirming, I ordered all of the courtesy and door lights that light up when the car is opened red, the rest that are manually on when the button is pressed I will get white, but have not ordered those yet.

i got the aftermarket $200 fender replicas.
with OEM 19" i used 15mm front and 25mm rear.


im still using them with my 21" wheels haha (still need an alignment to correct camber from lowering, so they should be a little more tucked after)

Looks awesome, where did you buy the spacers? Also when spacers are bought do you need to buy different bolts?

The fenders, do they essentially just stick out a bit more to make the car look wider? Can I put spacers on with out changing fenders?

Thanks for all the help

spacers are from H&R.
DR spacers come with longer lugs
DRA come with small lugs that you use to BOLT the SPACER to the hub, then you use the OEM lugs to attach to the DRA spacer.

yes you can use spacer without the fender flares, honestly the front flare is less than 1/2 and inch,
rear is about an inch.
i would have used the same size spacers regardless
