Ya I raised the rear 3/4 of an inch and the front a 1/2 inch. I did my alignment and was pretty tired from all the adjusting and aligning. I have -1.9 negative camber in the front and -2.0 in the rear. I want to buy camber kits next.

Looks very good after the drop. Lowering a car works wonders all around. Clean, subtle GS. Keep up the good work!

car looks very OEM. but at the same time it looks good. i would say use these wheels as your daily wheels and buy some nice ones for the meets that you go to.

The car looks nice bro. IMO, you shouldv'e left it stock suspension wise. It looked better and much more cleaner. All around tho, the car looks GREAT! Enjoy it bro!

im loving this setup i havent seen one yet with the gs-f wheels on it. what size tires are you running? did you have to shave or roll the rear fenders when you dropped it?
