Yes, but by the time you fix all the idiotic crap involved in Hellaflush, it's not really Hellatrendy anymore. There's the obvious stuff like the excessive camber and stretched tires. But if you actually want your mods to improve handling you're going to have issues with the 2"+ drop in height. It's going to play holy hell with your suspension geometry, there's a good thread covering this in the Suspension forum. You'd need either drop spindles or extended ball joints to mitigate some of that. But the most important thing is to make sure you've still got adequate suspension travel, I can't stress that enough. And also, you'd want to stay away from huge wheels with rubberband tires: Keep it above ~40 series.

But at that point, you've got a well modded car with aggressive wheel fitment, which isn't particularly "Hellaflush".

Oh, the irony.
