Good work, and glad to hear it went quickly and well. Hope it got you the look you wanted! I have to say this though, and I realize I'm probably in the minority with this view, but I'm really not crazy about the asymmetrical gap around this wheel dropping it like this does. I suppose bigger wheels/tires would fix that, but to me it doesn't look quite right, although not really "wrong" either. It's just less clean to my eye. Could I be any more wishy-washy on that? |

I understand completely. I think a slight drop w/ 17's or a larger drop w/ 18's is going to be the way to go to keep everything copacetic.

hhahah It's not that low, theres still a 2 finger gap all around. It's an illusion because my driveway is slanted so the car looks even more low from where I took the picture.
Right now the dampers are set right in the middle all around. The ride is really smooth, not harsh at all. Over bumps though it feels like I'm floating on a cloud. A little soft for my taste, probably gonna stiff it up a little this coming weekend. |
