Nice rides! question... if you could, would you drop it more even for daily? I know Teins have limit as far as dropping, I see that adob0 has it all the way down... I ma getting Megan's and looking to tuck the hell out of those 20's just want to see whats realistic.

MERKEDLS is killin' it with the drop.

MillerLite: If I could, I would most def go lower. The ride was so plush with the teins but it was no where near the stance I wanted.
