Some crappy cell phone pics to add to the collection. No major changes lately other than new Michelin Pilot Super Sports over the summer.

And, no, I'm not planning on going any lower with the car. My driveway has a steep lip and there are too many other driveways around here w/steep inclines and I already scrape enough as it is.

Thanks. I had a wheel refinisher here in Philly do them. The lips are polished and the faces are powdercoated in gunmetal. A little rash on a couple of them now, unfortunately, but the Hankooks that were on before summer had no rim protection.

As I said above: "And, no, I'm not planning on going any lower with the car. My driveway has a steep lip and there are too many other driveways around here w/steep inclines and I already scrape enough as it is."

So, I'd go for an inch if I could, but it's not practical around here.

Same here. won't go any lower on my G, although I might add a front lip.

Even in flat-a$$ Florida I already scrape and hit low curbs and many steep entry areas. No way can go lower without destroying my front bumper.

I honestly don't know how some people with crazy low cars drive lol

Agreed. I wouldn't mind a bit lower for looks and handling, but I don't get the slammed look at all. Will never understand that trend. Maybe I'm just too old, LOL, but to me it doesn't look racy or high performance - it just looks like the suspension is broken.

And good call - I would love to add a front lip as well...just haven't gotten around to it.

Good to hear I'm not the only one.

While slammed/lowered cars look great, I just can't deal with having to go around bumps and inclines like a grandma. Having air suspension is the only way I'll do it, but that costs bookoo $$

I used to own a modded 6th Gen Celica with a full body kit. It wasn't lowered and I would hit every bump and scrape parking borders all the time. I actually bought Eibach lowering springs for it and never installed on the car.

Thanks man. They're iconz 2 piece forged. The face used to be matte black but got them refinished earlier this year in gloss metallic grey. The size is 20x10 all around F+15 R+10. Need to add 5mil spacers in the front to get them a bit closer to the fender
