Advice needed for suspension and exhaust
I have a couple of questions about a few mods I want to do to my new Paceman S, I did some search but couldn't find a precise answer so any help is really appreciated.
Suspension:
I want to put 20mm spacers all around, according to BMS there's no issue at all, but I also want to put H&R springs, so. Will it rub or is it OK? I pretend on keeping my stock "turbofan" 18" wheels.
Exhaust:
I want to build the exhaust since I want 4" matte black tips and a muffler that can make just a bit more sound, nothing obnoxious, just a bit more deep, I've read that the Magnaflow is good but can't find the specific part number of the one that can fit the Paceman.
I'll also wrap all chrome accents except the belt line in gloss black vinyl and tint the windows. And then,... maybe the JB+
Thanks in advance,... here are some pics of the car when I picked her up.

With 20mm spacers you will most likely rub. That is part of the reason we don't even offer them that big. We found that 15mm was the widest we needed to make to fit 99% of applications. Also 20mm require that much longer of a bolt, making it a pain.

For the exhaust get what you think sounds good, but make sure the shop building it takes their time as you want the tips to sit exact so you don't melt the rear bumper.

15mm are pretty good with turbofans and to be safe,. Megan Racing has some springs for the Paceman that lower 1.25" f and 1.25" R.
They also have an exhaust for the Paceman with 4" dual Burnt roll tips or rolled tips and stainless.

Long bolts for 15mm spacers
http://www.waymotorworks.com/extra-l...lug-bolts.html
Or our wheel stud kits
http://www.waymotorworks.com/m14x1.2...ountryman.html
If you put it all in your cart we can ship the spacers and studs for $12 or less in the US. If you see a higher amount when you check out just ignore it as we always adjust down to the actual shipping amount so you won't be overcharged. I don't like it when I'm charged a BS shipping and handling amount so I don't do it to my customers, but the website is a robot so I have to correct it.
