Default Installed some springs..your thoughts
Well I installed some used no name black springs I bought off a guy for real cheap said it was a 1.5in in front and 1" drop in the back. But after I drove it home last night the thing looks slammed, can barely fit a finger up there in the front... Ran out of time so I couldn't finish rolling the fenders.

So this is on my 17" winter wheels, Looks like I'll have to be removing them Because my good wheels the 20's just got redone bronz with a chrome lip so I'm really looking forward to putting them on

Does this look too low for it?

Looks good to me. I think what is looking wierd to you is the sunken 17's. Depending on your offsets, your 20's may be hard to fit now though.

When I replaced my CA bushings, It lifted my car up 1/2". That could be why yours is slammed now, replace the bushings and I bet your car won't be so low.

My bushings and everything seem to be nice and tight.. IDK Ive always thought that 97+ looked a little lower OEM than the earlier yrs IMO

Finished my wheels today so I pulled the tape off them and fitted one of the front wheels with the drop and it looks like its going to work Overall I'm happy with the new look of the wheels
