this is flush, and not on air suspension


in the VIP world, flush is defined as one thing, flush.
fenders rolled, tires stretched. and not a head of gap between the wheels


im not saying that you have to be slammed, but i believe most people agree, that flush means when your goign down the road, peopel are wondering if when you hit a bump ,is your wheel going to take out your fender its so close.

this car is on coils too, and is flush, its in my driveway for hte next few weeks, i sold it to a friend




all im saying here, you dont have to be on air, you just have to be willing to sacrifice a few things. maybe its not going into your favorite shop, becuase the incline is too much, so you park a block down and walk. To me, the stance and wheel fitment of a car is everything, it shows the dedication and creativity of the owner. Its not easy to get a car flush, and low, and drive it every day. Even with air, my rideheight, is lower than most people with my Y33, i didnt buy air to drive super high.

Two things about VIP style is low and flush...which if you were lower, your car wouldnt be flush and your tires are too meaty where they would hit your fender and you'd be looking at some bodywork. You are flush with your fender to CL standards but subpar to VIPstyle standards. I wouldn't take it as a personal attack, I would take it as you need to research VIPstyle a little more

Drop 2 tire sizes and you will be fine. I can make full u-turns at this height. A few people here can vouch for me on that.



But the rear looks great. Nice fitment man
