If you have 20's, barely any drop is needed to look 'slammed'. I doubt a 2-2.5" drop is POSSIBLE with 20s on.

that actually looks like a 1.5" drop, you have to remember that the win kit hangs alot lower than stock tatwhy it looks dropped

The reason I'm asking is because that's how I want my wheel wells, I want the tire and wheel tucked under the fenderwell. SO I'm trying to figure out that drop

to get the tire in the lip with a 20" wheel i would guess a 1.7" lower in the front and 1.5" lower in the rear would be the best

With out a doubt that car looks sick, BUT keep in mind that car with that kit is pretty much not practical. What I am trying to say is I have a eclipse with the Blitz kit (FandF), the damn car is so low I cant really drive it. With that kit on a GS in NY I would have to say it would not be worth it. Yes with 20 inch wheels you have to be carefull when driving so you dont bend them. But when you cant get into a driveway or go down a bumpy side street the car becomes a problem. You are more worried if you can get over that divit in the road than actually driving the car. I just learned my lesson with my GSX and I will never do it again. All I want is a Black/tan GS4 with 20s and a greddy lip. No more going crazy for me. Just my opinion though

I thought blitz doesn't make a kit for the Eclipse.......... and that FandF kit is just another supra-style imitation.

Well actually that is true. To be technical I have a Street Weapon Drift style front bumper (Silvia style) modified blitz supra side skirts molded into the quarters and I cut 2 inches off the bottom, Buddy club rear bumper with reverse lights covered and supra tail lights. Blitz does not make a real kit for the Eclipse pretty much ALL the kits for an eclipse is a copy of the real thing. That is one of the reasons I am selling my Eclipse, everything thing a copy, not the real thing. I just put the Blitz comment in my above post to show I have a car heavily modded and in my opinion it is not worth it to have a body kit that sits that low.

With a GS that slammed and those 20s, I don't think you'd want to make the trek from FL to NY....I honestly don't think the car would make the 1100 mile trip hehe.

The way I did it was my Eclipse was my summer show and race car. What I mean is if I knew where I was going to drive and how far I would drive the Eclipse. I used my 92 Talon awd as my winter and everyday car. BUT because the eclipse was so impractical I found my self never driving it, I put over $15,000 in mods and I have driven the car about 1,500 miles this whole year! That is the problem that I had with my car. The car was so modded that you could not drive the car, yeah with out a doubt that GS looks sick but is it worth when you never drive it? I have been to Florida 3 times and the roads are sweet. I dont think you would have a problem but in NY forget about it . By the way if you think you are going to make a trek from Florida to NY in a GS with 20s and that body kit, I would think again you will probably wreck the car. And forget about having the car towed or having it put on a lift it will not fit.
