Good luck.

How much did the MP HAS cost with the port installation when you ordered your car? Thinking about adding it to my order.

Having a childhood friend that owns a performance shop helps. Although I don’t know if I’d call him a friend if he’s still charging me.

Would you do whatever you do for work for five hours for free because they're a friend?
He's saving you several hundred bucks. That's a friend.

This is the best fitment I have ever seen on this car. Is this lowered at all in these photos or is this just the spacers?

You could alter the handling by using different thickness spacers. A wider track usually means more traction at that end of the vehicle. It is not the best way, but an option.

You could also change the scrub radius and kingpin offset, potentially altering the vehicle's stability.

That said, the effect will be minimal at 5, 10, 15, or even 20mm.
