yes the car is not lowered by the owner is planning on getting COILOVERS soon.

now i know many of LS fans prefer more of the JDM feel but coming from the GS community...I love the FORGED look of the HRE, IFORGED, DPE, etc

this is a photoshop but it should give you folks a rough idea of the stance with a clean drop. again thanks to Seize for the help on the photoshop!

HRE 540R: classic, 3 piece, FORGED, etc. you cant go wrong! honestly hopefully when i build my next car (will be a BMW)...i can jump back into the HRE club too
