(didnt lower rear as much b/c im throwing in a heavy a$$ system)

great first mod bro, wish i just spent my money on coils instead of all the aesthetic stuff i did first. i just lowered mine a few weeks ago on sportline springs (all i could afford right now) but still lovin them. ur car looks great

Too low for that car without wheels IMO, but it will look awesome with something to replace the stockers. I tend to go more easy on slamming cars without some nice wheels as it makes the drop less ghetto looking, but I'm sure where there's a drop wheels are soon to follow You'l likely go up an inch with or without the wheels as you'll rub like hell right now on stock fenders and the 18's you wanna try.

yup.... im looking for wheels for now... i found a set of vsxx but this dude messed up all the lips on all 4 (idk how) and he wants 1250 for it... i woulda picked it up if the lips were decent but its pretty bad... I just lowered it like that for now just to let it settle in.. gonna raise it alittle bit on friday and test fit my brothers C2s on there just to see how it'll look...
