I understand a lot of you guys like the lowered look and my other car is lowered too, but I did it for better handling, not to improve its looks. And the price you pay is lower ground clearance, which not everyone is willing to put up with. I for one have learned the hard way that curbs are way too high at most parking lots, and it's kind of refreshing to be able to drive a car around that you don't have to worry about scraping the front end whenever you pull up too far forward, or on steep driveways, etc.

I'm not saying you shouldn't lower your car if you want to, and yes the cars that are slammed look very aggressive. But stop berating others who haven't lowered their cars by saying they NEED to lower them, ok? I NEED to keep making the payments on my car, I NEED to keep my eyes on the road and off my cell phone, but I don't NEED lowering.

Thanks for all the compliments and comments. I agree that the front wheel gap is a little too big. The back, to me anyway, looks okay the way it is. I don't want the car too low like some of you have stated. But I'm already on Sports suspension, will Eibachs help at all? I don't want to get coilovers, way too expensive. Basically, if possible, I just want to lower the front a little to lessen the wheel gap. Any suggestions??

EASY, 235/45/19 front tires, fill the gap, less harsh a ride, protect rims from potholes a touch more than 40series or 35series tires.
