Houston? I'm going on coils and dumping my air soon. How hard is it to drive like that? We need a bigger picture! From the thumbnail, it looks legit!

Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, but does lowering your car that extremely move the wheel back in the wheel well? It appears that the distance between the tire and the bottom of the fender is much greater in front of the wheel than behind the wheel.

Even though this style isn't my cup of tea, it's great to see enthusiasts (young or old) doing creative things with the LS. It brings life to the car and builds enthusiasm more than a bunch of us stock (and mostly gray-haired) owners do.

yes this is exactly what happens, the more you lower the front the more up and back the wheel moves in the wheel well. this is the angle that the suspension is mounted in these cars and its just the way it is.

they make correction kits for it that waijai i believe either purchased was working on purchasing that will move the wheel back to the center of the wheel well and still keep it that low.

There are two options for castor correction on heavily lowered 430's.
The SS kit pro comes with a modified steering knuckle which will move the balljoint position,and there's also a modified rear lower control arm bush sold by nagisa auto that offsets the lower arm outwards to correct the angle.

Yes, I used to own the ss kit non pro version and then my air went out so I replaced with coilovers, and I have the shorter rear arms to correct a lot of the negative camber in the rear presently installed.
