i think you need some more camber in the rear, that pull is rough

Car looks great after the drop.

Thanks for sharing wheel specs.

Imo, the UCF20/21 look just right with 20's,

so 2 days ago we drooped the spring in the rear to get a lil more tuck and even out the car. i was feeling like it was "raked". so now the tire is tucking and the car is level. no rubbing issue still so i think im going good lol

Those pics don't really do it justice. It's alot lower than it looks lol. I would go lower but with the 20's I won't be able to turn. It's a battle already lol

Love the car. I have the same exact one. 99 - same color inside and out. I'm just not sure what it is with the obsession to lower the car. Is it a West Coast thing? The car barely clears large speed bumps with 4 adults as it is. I want to put nicer rims on mine at some point but I really doubt I will lower it at all.
