You're lowering your car going into winter? I dunno shaggy.....

I told you that you would sell those wheels! Too heavy!

Are you replacing the rest of your suspension or just going to blow out the OEM suspension? Then replace it when it's dead?

you don't think i should lower it cuz of winter? is not like im going all the way down to the floor, is only about an inch an a half. Is not that they're too heavy is that i wanna get some baller looking wheels that sit flush. This rims have been revfinished too many times this was their last summer. I'm gonna use the stock shocks and maybe get tokiko shocks in the future. Should i get the 60 dollar camber kit off ebay for the rear and throw it at the same time? cuz i just realized if i put the camber kit in the spring i'm gonna have to do the alignment all over again

I drove a Cadillac last winter that is about the height of my G now and I got stuck everywhere because I bottomed out. I had to rock that car off of piles of snow tiiiimes and last year Jersey got worse snow than us. Oh and 40lbs before rubber... that's too heavy.

4dr, how would you know about snow driving? lol

haha i guess a 60 dollar camber kit is better than no camber kit, i just weight my stock 17 with tire at 43 lbs, and i weight the 20 with tire with low air at 56lbs. Now i don't know if i should lower it or wait till spring i'm gonna order the stillen front lip soon but i wont put it on till after the winter, i dont wanna mess it up with the ice and stuff

My car is getting dropped on rear coupe springs and front Z springs on the 25th.. and i also have painted OEM 17"... cant wait to see how it sits.. i heard this winter is going to be cold, but it doesnt usually snow in NJ if its really cold.. so i dont mind the drop, im just a little concerned about getting a front lip..
