looks good as is, but looks like your gonna need to roll the fenders if you go any lower, but i think like a half inch, so that there is no wheel gap at all.

yeah I know I do wanna lower it so there is no wheel gap, but you can't even really tell until you get up real close...and I kinda like being able to turn my wheel alll the way now without scrubbing my inner fender...lol


If any of ya'll see me at the V then come take a look and throw me some suggestions! :goodjob:

from what i can see it the pic of the whole car it doesnt really need to be lowered at all. take some side shots of the whole car to get an idea.

The rear quarter panel lip the sticks in, so the tires would not rub on it...

More hassles? Driving a slammed car isn't hard at all. Our roads aren't THAT terrible. I wanna go lower but I gotta repave the entrance to my damn driveway first :( And get rid of my lip *cough*trade*cough* :goodjob:

you should be fine with lowering it. once you adjust your camber and get the car aligned to fit your lower setting you should be perfectly fine.

go too low and you will have too much neg camber and will be eating your tires in a short amount of time. I like the stance it has now.
