Default How Low is your GS

I just sold my car so i take out my Tein HA put it into my friend stock GS. We decide to drop it all the way see how it look on the stock wheel. After 4hrs of hard work the car turned out really nice and really low. Our group known for Slammed ride around here can't wait to snap some pix of the GS tomorrow to show. Notes* 2" above the ground daily drive hehehehehhe

As of now I've got the stock 17" stocks on my 00 GS and there is no finger gap in the front and about 1 finger in the rear for passengers I plan on rolling and stretching my fenders soon so I can tuck my 19's or 20's Haven't decided which wheel size to go with yet.

I haven't tried stock wheels with my suspension, but I think I can get slammed.

My brother's ride is on 19"s. He's running JIC FLT-A2 coilovers, he hasn't tried to crank them down to the lowest setting but as of right now the car has about a tennis ***** clearance underneath....so I'd say he's about 3" or less off the ground, oh yeah and it's daily driven

you're my hero

here's mine, daily driven, which i wish i could go lower...but the coilovers won't do anymore, and the 20's would probably crack and bend lol i think i'm about 1.5" off the floor in the front. sides about 2" and back is about 2 1/4"

What's the point of dropping a car that low? I think that just looks tasteless and is useless.
