Andddd without bags? IMO, no. However me thinks this just means more low is in order...

Coming soon.... More loaw. Thanks goes out to Mariano for your text message and phone call help sir. I owe this look to you. Also, Yoan for the big assist on letting me watch him relocate my driver side fender tab

I could have easily mistaken it on bags.

Love the drop! Can't believe you can still go lower!

BTW, what other modifications did you have to do to go that low? Did you have to replace any 'arms' to go that low or were you fine with just the stock parts?

Looks good bro! Love how the wheels look spinning. Now put a lip in it and if you're really tough put an F Sport chassis brace like I do and watch the sparks fly!
Thanks for the props and it's been a pleasure helping you out.

There were many things to factor in.
I went through to find the right offset and went through many sets of tires before I found the right size that would fit for the application I wanted.
Heavy fender work & trimming.
Bumper tab relocation.
The list goes... But I did all this so I COULD use the stock arms and not buy a camber kit for more negative camber. What you see in the vid (and very poor shot of the camber I may add) is natural negative camber from lowering the car.

Do you think if you had just gotten aftermarket arms and a camber kit, it would of been easier for you? Or just going through the heavy body work is worth it?

Yeap it would've been easier in my opinion. However, I love the fact that I can do a full u-turn on FLAT ground and not rub at all.
