i would keep it as is, looks perfect. lowering takes away too much functionality imo. at least here in Dallas with our lunar surface roads.

Looks badass bro! Wheels are sick AF! HRE FTW!

What are you lowered on? Springs or coils... and what brand if you don't mind me asking. I was thinking about putting some swift springs just in front for now until I pony up money for some Ohlins road & track coils next year.

Thanks buddy! I must say though seeing examples like Roswell's beast does make lowering tempting! ...

Thx all for the compliments!

ToeMas, I'm lowered on BC Coilovers with 14/10 spring rates if my memory is correct. I was going to do Swift springs too at first but the BC Coilovers are well priced making the upgrade worth it.

Ur car looks awesome with the Volks G25. I love the G25 so much that I ordered them last year but I had to cancel my order after 9 months of waiting.

As for the drop, u should lower it a bit. I'm on Coilovers & kept the front a bit higher than the rear to improve clearance.

Insane looking wheels, Meng! Love the detail on the final shot. The drop is spot on, not too low and definitely not high enough to show the wheel wells anymore.

Thanks my friend. it definitely is still a long way from getting to how good yours look . Funny you mentioned 9 months of waiting! I was actually waiting for a set of CE 28N around that long also!! I gave up on it then they said they have a set of G25 lying around so then I took it.

as for the lowering, thanks for the heads up! Your car's height is definitely the stands I would want on mine!

Thx Brian, the brushed w/tinted clear coat was a pricey option but definitely worth it cuz it pops in person.

As u must know the car was lower in the front at first, but had to raise it cuz too much headaches. Props for sure to those driving slammed cars. Lol
