Default GS's on L-tuned suspension.

Can i see those L-tuned suspensions from side angles and possibly with 20" wheels if anyone has that? I'd greatly appreciate it! Also how is the drop on the L-tuned, you get about an inch drop or slightly less?

I'm getting angry, sometimes when I see pics of l-tuned it looks too high, but this pic it looks perfect.....Oh well, the espelir's and l-tuned shocks will be good anyways....

Remember that car has a low kit (Explosion/ Lsportline) which brings the appearance that the car is lower!

Thats just one pic, I'll post a few more, to help give the full effect.





Notice how it looks lower from the standing up angle. I think this is the best way to tell, since no one "crawls up" to their car!! (unless they are drunk!)

Manny could you post one without the front lip? That would give the best idea of how low it looks without any aero mods!

Thats cool, the one you posted is a much better example then GSintensive anyway because that car has a full kit all the way around. One more thing for clarity, those are 255fr and 285rr tires correct? That makes a diff in the gap too

Default If you want it to look good 20" rims is a must->

With 19s or smaller rims the wheel gap will look larger. I have 19" rims with tein springs and I am a little dissapointed with the wheel gap that I have. I've seen 20" rims with Eibach springs or Ltuned springs and it was tucked perfectly for my taste.
