LOL, I have had my lowrider phase. I'm into comfort these days. My Bimmer was as low as I am willing to go, and I'm not certain I'd ever go even that far again. The Vette looked like a 4WD beside it.

Why stop there... let's just cut the fender wells out and the hood and quarters and put the wheels sticking through the top of the body.

I detect sarcasm lol.

Personally I would keep it about there if I had that set-up. But thats just me though.

Just roll your fenders, pull them a little if needed and tuck it up the chassis wiring harness.

Only reason I think so many want to "tuck" the wheels up into the wheel wells is due to the fact that so many now driving the SC300/SC400 are well under 30 years old, and that seems to be the thing to do...Slam the car, the lower the better...While I understand, I gotta go with OLT on this one, lower to about 1/8 inch wheel gap and leave it there. One thing for sure, the lower the car, the rougher the ride, and the easier to scrub. I always prefer the rear to have a little more gap than in the front. My thoughts.

i miss my lowrider days but it sucks having to slow down for every inperfection on the road and to bottom out over speed bumps this is the lowest i will ever go wit my sc because or the ride .and i like the stance.i think OLT might like this drop or something like it .p.s .this is when i just installed it so its about .4 inchs lower now

Man that bimmer is hot... and the SC ain't too shabby either!

She'll look good with a nice modest drop.
