Yup and this is what you get when it's TOO LOW, period.

Quoted from OP: "I lowered my car, those were my issues; Camber, Scrapped/Dents on Headers/ Exhaust, Broken Lips slow down and drive around a bump, and worst a hole in the gas tank."

Not worth banging up your car just to look cool.

LOL, go back to the 15's or maybe some 16's. Sean and I worked hard getting that car to baller status for you to slap 18's on it.

^^^lol,fixed :o

Suprisingly, i took my car to an NTB in Alpharetta and it was all jacked up the first time i went there.. they told me the stuff to get, i went off shopping and got it, took the car back there and they got it all lined up nicely with near-perfect camber so i wasnt eating tires anymore and i was still maintaining a "lookin' fresh" stance... :camera:

Yeah, i know, all i really needed was a camber kit but still...:ninja:..lol.

Low enough lol. I am slightly tucking tire in the front and rear. I have 225/45/17s though so my car is still a decent bit off the ground.

This is how you're suppose to drive lowered cars.
