haha. I kinda figured I'd get responses like that here, lol. I rides pretty good actually, and you get around most speed bumps instead of over.

looks great, rear could be a touch more aggressive though your setup is fine if you're trying to minimize camber.

lookin good, i Like it

Speed bumps = slow & careful.
Potholes = you go 'around' them.

Try riding/driving in a car with Megans. The ride is damned nice. Passed the wife test.

Yeah I had megans on my last one, and this time my vendor got me these cheaper. They do have a lot more height adjustment then the megans did. These passed the wife test too hahaha. I do want the rear a tad more agressive but I'll have to raise the rear just a tad for that and shave a little more of the lip on the quarter. Don't think I'm not working on it though, lol

Looks good, I like the ride height. Fitment is good, a bit more for the rears would match it up with the fronts.

If mine had that height, I'd have to park it on the street...it wouldn't go up the driveway.

In addition, something about lowering and classy wheels on a clean simple car is Timeless and well done.

My alter car self would love 20's and another 1" or so of drop like yours.

How's it ride on those D2's?
Ive heard they were pretty harsh on some other cars.
Looks great though.
Keep up the good work!
