Default 98 LS Lowered *pics*

I installed the megans about a month ago. I just finished lowering the car some more so I thought I'd take some pics. The exhaust scrapes so I'll probably raise it back up. The car is dirty but I took the pics with my phone so who cares?

Looks great but don't lower it too much. It is a luxo-barge and imo does not look it's best when slammed.

Looks great! I understand about the too low. I had to raise mine up as well. Wheels suit the car so well.

I always liked the 430 wheels - don't cost much and they look good on your car. I agree with PD - it looks killer now. I had my exhaust raised to keep it low

if you can see light under it, it's too high!
my only concern is that since the wheels are stock, the car looks like a stock car on a broken suspension.

Hey kid, don't tell where I can post.
Just like you, I have an opinion and I am free to post it respectfully.
I love the LS but no luxo barge looks that good slammed on stock wheels.
Tastefully lowered is cool but slammed needs wheels to pull off the look.
That's just my opinion and you can disagree all you want. Just don't tell me where I can post.
