wow that is low, be careful when you put your 19s back on depending on fitment and tire size you're running. At that height you want to make sure your tires do not eat through the fender lining and munch on your wires. If it's really necessary to ride at that height at least move the wires out of the way to avoid being at a shoulder scratching your head why the car suddenly stalled. I likey though, put the 19s so we can appreciate it more

Looks nice, but you're going to rip the oil pan right off that car on the first city drain or big pot hole. I think it would look best raised about an inch, plus you get a better chance to keep your underbody. The wheels are actually TOO sunken in, which I never thought was possible. Only way an Sc looks good THAT low is with a kit.

DAYUM!!!

If you had a thicker tire you would be okay on those rims.

What are you running as far as suspension?
