Love it Wish you had gone with 19s since the step lip makes the wheels look smaller but I can't complain.

Raising the back up some might accomplish the same thing. Give it a bit of a raked look and even out the fender gap so the wheels/tires don't look swallowed up in back.

That's why I said in earlier post that I have to adjust the coilovers a tad...going to raise the rears and drop the front just a bit more...some fine tuning still needed along with damper settings.

This is what took the longest, adjusting the height of the coilovers to where I wanted it. I must've adjusted it a dozen times before I was finally satisfied. Got my car aligned and my tires have been wearing nice and even for the most part. Though now that I drive it a lot more in the LA areas and Ktown, I am really tempted to raise her back up a half inch, the ride SUCKS when it's sitting low and pretty. LOL

Your car is coming along really nice though.

Thanks! Yes this is definitely become very time consuming but it's almost there....

Car being worked on to make those height adjustments. The lift is actually lifting the body in pic



The calipers and new rotors came out great. Center caps and new lugs installed

Got the coilovers adjusted. I'm happy with this height.

DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THAT BRIGHT ORANGE THING IN THE BACKGROUND!

Or my work car parked behind it... LOL!

Looking good, but how the **** are we supposed to NOT pay attention to that orange monstrosity? How do you mount tires with sidewalls that short, let alone even find them?

He is in "SoCal" where anything goes and what ever it takes to get attention is in play.... Likely not even one of the more radical rides down there....

Your SC is a nice example of what is possible and an inspiration to us all......

Wow you guys got me seeing things I didn't even notice first time around. The Cremesicle monster, and cop reflection. I think I need to get my eyes checked, or my brain... possibly both.

The tires on that donk are hilarious though. It must feel like he's riding on bare metal when he's driving around. I can't understand why anyone would want to put themselves through that if they're older than 21.
